Two noob questions...TXT and Juggernaut

[TheHeadHunter]

I have never owned neither a Jugg or a TXT and I see some Jugernauts selling at about $120 used in great shape here in Japan
this one starts bid at 120bucks...

also there is a stock pair of TXT axles assembled bid for $30 they are in perfect condition

are they worth trying to build a crawler with or should I stick to TLT and Clod axles?
reason I'm asking is especially that the TXT axles are very cheap...I got my used Clod axles for $60
can I use a AX10 or Stampede tranny with the TXT axles also?

TXT are the more desired axles of the bunch, they have stronger input shafts. You can make a Jug axle just as strong as a TXT just by swapping a few parts.

And you can use a Pede, Axial, any transmission you want. Be creative!!

Thanks bro!

Crap, at those prices I'd buy both the Jugg and the TXT axles.

As said, get the TXT axles. They can easily be 4-linked since the top cover on TXTs have link mounts. Better yet buy em and send em to me.

Jugg2 or TXT axles , not the Jugg1 axles

i use Jugg2 axles with some mods , strong enough for my 14" tuber

I have a R2HD tranny

working ok with my Goat, Im currently installing a GD600(which I strongly recommend)

You could run a different motor setup and have a great setup, but I wanted to wheel speed with the brushless so I just going to get that reduction system in


Oh and when the axles have "2000" printed on them that means they are Jugg1 correct? and that is the weak set of axles ( like that ones shown in the above pic)

well thats good, then my set is TXT.. I was scared they are Juggy1 and I just put XLs on it

[TheHeadHunter]

Would You Guys Recommend buying the whole TXT kit or just the axles?

[TheHeadHunter]

Please help me decide to get these TXT axles or am I better off to get the whole kit ?
The bid is only up to 35bucks and one day left they look nice !



ah and is it better to go Super size on these or 2.2? thanks!

SO the only difference between a Jugg axle and a TXT axle is the top cover and the input shaft?? Will the Jugg axle stand up to a single 55 turn thru a Stampede tranny?? Will the Jugg axles be stronger than upgraded TLT axles??

50 times stronger, than TLT stuff

[hawnmt]

There is another difference, TXTs have stub axles that are a little longer than Jugg/Clod because TXTs have wider wheel adapters. The stub shafts still can use Jugg/Clod wheel adapters, they just need spacers under the wheel nuts.

For that price buy the axles, you could always sell them if you don't like them. It depends on the what exactly you want to build and the price of the full kit whether or not to get it.

The width of the TXT axles makes it a bit tricky to make it a 2.2 although others have done it.

I got my set off ebay and had good luck with it

I upgraded to thundertech shalfs and have about 2 batteries through it now.

Goat
R2HD with 10T gear
GD600 with 12T gear
Moab XLs

it crawls very nice now and I am very happy with the set up

I need to do a build thread some day I have free time

[TwistedXT]

ive used my txt axles in both a 16" wheelbased super and a 12" 2.2 comp rig (where they are now).. nice strong axle.. dont have to worry about anything breaking.
