im sure you guys hear this alot but im working on a set also with a local cnc shop my design is far stronger than the stock one but will still use stock internals. as soon as the finalised design is picked i'll post pics. my prototypes should be done very soon and i'll try my best to break'em if they check out they will be for sale to the public.

thats something i didn't mention im planning on using round tubes instead of squared and shrinking the pumpkin as much as possible.
my axles started as a personal foray because i kept breaking stock ones and i wanted a superior alternative as for the other design ideas those are my little secret.

soon my friends soon!

what I can't understand is, why totally copy the original design??

That whole diff housing needs a size reduction, it can be done when made from aluminum.

weight is hardly a problem, and if anything the weight is a good weight to add, down low where it is needed.

Aluminum does suck on rocks and sliding proposes, I will agree with u there
but I would still run them over plastic

$230... I would rather run Novaks Crawl Brushless Kit, Would get u a lot more places

That is true but I do like the look of rc4wd because they look like the stock. But the wieght is not an issue.
