Hi,

In a few crawling days I have just break 2 rear axle of my TLT based crawler...

This is a very common problem?? I thinking to buy RC4WD TLT axle (http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=520), how much strong than TLT stock Axle are they???

There way better then the stockers

but what rig are you running
size
tire size
weight in the wheels
weight of the truck all together?

Garrett · 03-24-2007, 03:43 AM

The rig that I'm running is the AVIO-TLT (you can see it in my signature), I have Proline MOAB Tyre on RC4WD Narrow beadlock wheels without weight in. The rig weight is 2.87 Kg

CVD's would be best. More turning radius with a little shaving of the knuckle and case.

You can also get the Max Crawler axles for it (the "newer" version of the TLT). They are thicker right there than the original TLT axle.

Are there even any places that sell those anymore?

Garrett: It is a very common issue. I've gone through a dozen or so between all my rigs. It is just a function of that being a real weak link when we put some good power to the rig.

I agree, but if he is running them in the back then he wont need that turning radious for no rear steer. I plan to get some of those steel shafts, and cvd's for the front. Save some money, i dont think the rear needs cvd's.

Exactly, I don't have rear steering and I don't need CVD's for rear. I think that I'm going to buy rear axle from RC4WD and, if I broke front axle, CVD's...

Thanks to all!

i used to have, well somtimes i brake axle shafts because im running a hyperion with 9.6v but i just put a slipper clutch on my pede trans and it has helped a BUNCH! i want to get the cvd's for the front when they come out. good luck!

Garrett · 03-25-2007, 01:18 PM

I have an Hyperion Z3013 at 7.2V, but I hate slipper clutch...!!!!

Rc EnthuSiasTs · 03-25-2007, 01:47 PM

at first i hated slipper on my pede, but after i started breaking some axle parts, i thought i would give it a try, it only slips in extreme lock up situations, and it works really good. I like it!

Garrett · 03-27-2007, 11:30 AM

I have repaired it, just welded it with a thread iron welder

DougC · 03-27-2007, 11:34 AM

Broke all four of mine, at the same time, at this weekends comp! I love those TLT axles!

Can't wait for the CVD's!

4stAir · 03-27-2007, 11:59 AM

That'll work for the rear...until it breaks right next to the weld...cheap Tamiya metal. At least you're back up and running. May have to weld up my broken ones too.
