Xtra Speed Alloy Axles
 
Hi folks.

Thought this maybe useful info for others who try these. Everything appeared to go together fine. The outer pinion bearing was a very tight fit mind.

I was using the stock diff covers. Now the locking/unlocking of the the diffs was a absolute mare! I could not get them to unlock at all. They were very stiff and notchy when manually pushing the cable.

As a last ditch attempt before I considered using the stock plastic axles again I tried a set of cheap alloy Chinese ARB cover I have dismissed a long time ago. These work perfectly! They do look less low profile than stock and I can only guess allow for more freedom for the arm to move the diff lock collar....

I did not weigh the difference but they certainly add a good amount of weight low and stop axle flex.

Anyhoo...this may save someone the many lost hours I spent. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c2d2d7732b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a23f0b0f20.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...52578ff850.jpg

I've actually thought about getting just the front for my trx4 sport. Mine needs some weight up front.

They have been very cheap on RC Mart the last three months. [emoji108]
