Default TLT axles

I am building a tsc 10 and was just wondering how strong the tlt axles are if they will hold up to 2.2 swamp dogs and 55 turn lathe with the tsc 10 wheelbase.

they are prettey tough. they will not usually break unless you are unlucky or you run maxx sized tires on it. then it can break the axel shafts at the end where they are not as thick , right before the dogbone endpiece.
other than that they will most likely not break

8O

That was with the lathe motor and swamp dawgs, it was more poor driving than anything. I don't think you'll ever break anything

That right there is the most common part to break. If you order new ones, they send you the beefier Max climber versions though.

I dont think the max climber part is any different from the rock buster one

Tetsulo on RCMT replaced his when he broke his and the replacement that was sent was beefier than the stock one, and since the max climber is the newest truck, I'd imagine they're in those axles.

the hill climber A/B shafts ar thicker at the ball end of the shaft and are little longer to fit more secure in the axles stub.

Interesting, I have a max climber but I dont have a rock buster to compare it to, does anyone have a picture of the axle shafts in a rock buster? Thanks

for what it's worth, I run 8 TLT axles on various trucks and have yet to break a part on any of them! (I drive the *&^%! out of them too)

I am currently waitng for the axel and housing! I think it may have somthing to do with sum sick air demos with a 19 turn motor, and bmx jumps!
atleast it sounds like it was fun!

i have snaped two ball ends. one doing cyclones on concrete with narrowed stock tires, and the secounds doing hill climbs from wet loose dirt to dry rock 8O whoops...
