Check out the new stuff from MSD (Montana scale design) in the Vendor section. Ben has just released new machined axle "C's" and rear lockouts. Team these up with RCP's clearanced knuckles and you have a sweet setup!

I just ordered a set of MSD's axle c's. I like that they have the notch already incorporated for max steering!

What's everyone's opinion on the TCS TLT Clocked Axle Cs? I'll be order a set of aluminum knuckles today from MSD but I like the idea of clocking the axle to keep the pinion out of rocks...

I just saw this post, I like the design of the MSD C's and this may give my TLT axles a little more life before I buy the axials...

MSDs look beefy, i might look into a set for my 2.2 comp rig. looking at the TCS clocked ones, they dont look very strong compared to regular fat-rocks or these new MSD ones.

I dig mine. Been holding well in my rig. I did have to clearance my knuckles a bit cause it hit the nut a bit now. I had to run my steering link on bottom now.

Hey I was reading your post and you said your hitting the nut on your steering link, atleast thats what Im gathering?? If Im right and you want a suggestion, take that bolt out, get a button hex head of the same length and put it on there head down, nut on top, problem solved! If Im wrong, disregard!

Actually the knuckle hits the nut on front of the axle where the C-hub is bolted on. Normally it would never hit there but clocking the C-hub puts it right in line.
