They are loaded to the website.

What trans would be ideal for these? Seems like the R2 would be too slow for the reduction in these axles.

In order so get any wheel speed out of these, will we have the same motor heating issues as the "other" worm gear axles we have?

What kind of drive axles do these have? CVD's? If so are they similiar to the latest Bully design?


Love the design "thumbsup" great looking product!

Gear Ratio: 1:40

None!

Man those look awesome, and you have gotta love all that diff clearance! A 10 turn puller mated to a 1:1 transfer case would be nice! "thumbsup"

Anyone make a 1:1 tranny? They look great. I've been holding out on building a new rig. R2D, 35T, 2C, and TLT's currently, I would think a Axial tranny with the same motor and battery would be about the same but, I could be talking out of my a$$. They do look good, I like the mounting options."thumbsup"

 

[grover]

Interesting possibilities indeed.8)

 

[Phatmac]

Wow, you actually used the name Worminator! Does that earn me any favor? :mrgreen:

 

[Fracture]

awesome, never thought id see these make it, should make for some cool rigs.
looking forward to seeing the internals, I hope you kept the hefty bearings either side of the worm gears, and made the worm/gear nice and solid also.

 

[youngblood]

Are the gears your own design, or were they existing gears from something else?

What are the gears made of?

Do they need to be broken in like the losi gears?

What offset works with these? Looks like Axial.

How much do they weigh?

Nice job, they look great! "thumbsup"

Could you please post some pictures of them opened up!

 

[rc4wd]

Great questions Are the gears your own design, or were they existing gears from something else? Yes, its our own design What are the gears made of? hardened Steel Do they need to be broken in like the losi gears? not sure, I will find out What offset works with these? Looks like Axial., not like Axial, its base on our Bully axle How much do they weigh?, I will post that later today Could you please post some pictures of them opened up! We will post more pictures shortly

Anyone make a 1:1 tranny?

Losi's about as close as they come (i think), something like .86:1

other then that bolt a motor to a t-case and run the axles off of that :mrgreen:

 

[BGGruff]

Man these things look great! I'm seriously considering swapping out my axials for these on my comper just to see how they'll do. I guess with a 40:1 ratio it'll be too low with the Axial tranny.

 

[rbgerrish]

FYI, in my opinion 40:1 isnt low enough gearing for direct drive. Run the Losi CC tranny with a big pinion and you'll love them. If you go direct drive, you'll be putting insane load on your motor. I've comped 25:1 worms and 50:1 worms. The 50:1's were ok, but that about as high as I would try...

Cool axle! I think we'll have to pick some up for Tammie's.

 

[Siggy]

I want to try one of these. How soon for the steering and 4-link mount kit? Thanks. "thumbsup"

what about something like the RF setup with just a pinion to spur with outdrives?

what about something like the RF setup with just a pinion to spur with outdrives?

thats what I was thinking to. A HPI MT2 would be a good option. any nitro buggy tranny with a spool in the middle should work.

 

[toyofast]

Waiting pictures to see what the front of these axles look like.


Any option to have dual input/output shafts on an axle? Something for the 6x6 or even 8x8 crowd?
