Enjoy!

whats the point of these aftermaket axles, just to have metal ones?

sickpuppy 08-18-2019 12:14 PM

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 
I dont really know..
Some will say that they make the car vorse regarding the handling..
But I bought them for the looks and feel, I dont really think that much of how it effects the cars handling as long as it dont ruin it totally..
Lets just say, it's my cup of tea :)

They do look pretty cool though.

Lookin good there sickpuppy!

I had a set of metal axles on my scx10 ii, didnt seem to hurt performance any. Kept it planted pretty good. Only real issue, n wasnt much of one, was on some rocks. Theyd catch a lil, but nothin i wasnt able to power over. I recently got a set of SSD diamond pro axles n love them! Nylon chunk with aluminum tubes, just enuf weight to plant it n the nylon slides like butter

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 
So I had to order some screws to finish up the axles.
Yesterday they arrived and now they're done!

Re: sickpuppys TRX-4's life up north..
 
Some time ago I also ordered the new Hyrax-tires together with dual stage foams and some beadlocks.
When all of it arrived and I was stoked to mount it all up I found out that the rims didn't fit around the portals.. :(
So I had to order some other rims, and landed on a set of Gmade 1.9's.
And WOW!! Just WOW!!!
I've mounted a fair bit of tires to different types of beadlocks the last years, but this wheels I think I could've mounted blindfolded.
I hate how they look, but MAN are they easy to mount!!
So I'm hoping Gmade is coming with some other designs in near future, coz' then I know for sure what beadlocks I'm going to purchase..

Those particular wheels don't look bad at all...

And those axles are sweet!

Thanks man, those were the ones I could find that looked ok-ish at least..
I guess they'll grow on me, and since they were so awesome to mount I guess I'll love them eventually.. :)

I totally agree with you, my axle housings doesnt feel like they hold me back in any way.
But I am actually thinking of coating the bottom of these axles with some nylon or something, just for the freakin' fun of it.. :D

Do you know of anything that would do the job?

Ok.. first of all.. R.I.P Defender v2.0
Today was a very fun but painfull day..
I was trying to drive safe to preserve the v2.0 as long as possible..
Well, I got my first scratch and from that point it was all in.. [emoji85]
At least I got some pictures from the driving before it went south, more about that later..

BTW, this sport is not mine, it's a friend of mine visiting from my hometown.

Excellent pictures!

That grille and your new wheelset really set off the Defender's lines well...

And your friends Sport has a lovely paintjob, too!

Just sad that some tire testing made it tumble down a concrete skate-ramp and ruined both the body and making a havoc of all the electronics.. [emoji85][emoji1787]

But then again, it made me finish my sport, so tomorrow I'll have my first run with the Sport [emoji108]

It's 2AM here now and I just finished setting up the mamba x and the rest of the sport. [emoji106]
