Carter Fab & Machine Custom Scaler Axle Housings

[CarterFab]

So wait, can you make custom tube lengths for the VP Curries? LIke say....XR10 length....or even shorter than Scx10?

Yup, or centered Wraith...

 

[Shinjari]

So thats for the rear which looks great, how about the front? I like that you make the tubes use the wraith link mounts instead of the wider SCX10 ones.

 

[CarterFab]

Those were Wraith link mounts to match a front Wraith axle. I can build dang near anything axle combo you can think up. Width, offset, link configuration, mixing materials, doesn't matter.

And the Ultimate 9s are finally going under a rig.

Any updates on this rig and axle set up?

 

[CarterFab]

In the 1.9 scale section. Only started this build on Sunday and only gets worked on, on Sundays. Thread is titled Rock Spyder.

Haha no. These have still got some time to go. The "Ultimate 9's" are on the chop block now but they are almost done and ready to be shipped off to have everything welded up.

What is the price for a set of these axles. I like the Rockwell look

 

[CarterFab]

The BlackRock60s setup like this run $700 for a matched set.
Have to buy;
Rc4wd black wells at $360 a pair
VP VVDs at $95
VP knuckles and c hubs at $85
Rear shafts at $25
That's $565
Leaving less than $70 per housing for labor. That's very reasonable. Just has a sticker shock when it's not broken down n

Thanks!"thumbsup"

You do awesome axle work... Thinking of doing something that will require a VERY narrow axle. Like centered pumpkin and ends only 1-2" away from it....

Lets do it. I've been wanting to do a dragster style rear end.

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!! I'd have given the proverbial body part to have owned/driven one of these...

What are those Ultimate 9s, who make them? You do nice work on axles and rollcage work.

They use the center chunk from the RC4WD Black Widow housings. Rest is custom machined by us.

Ok, I see. One more question. On the RC4WD Centered Diff Housing for the Wraith, will the VP work on them?

Will the VP what work on them?
The RC4wd centered diff is simply that.
The lockouts, diff cover, bearing caps, and lower link mounts are all interchangeable with any other brand or stock plastic part. You can use a VP AX10 upper axle truss for the rear for a more scale look but will have to drill and tap 2 holes where it attaches to the tubes, no biggie.
The rear shafts have to either be the steel RC4wd shafts, modified rear long side stock shafts, or titanium shafts from Creeperbob.
If you buy it from RC4WD it comes with the shafts, their upper link mount and bearing caps I believe. And it's well priced.
We do the custom centered housings for a cleaner look or to make them hybrids(mix and match material)

thoses are SICK look better than VP to me but the price is way outta reach for me

Thank You, I like what you do with the AX10 upper truss and the welded links mount. I think they look better and cleaner.
