    Just sharing a little info for people looking into these axles. I got mine a week ago and they do not have bearings anymore, just bushings. Now I dont know if exo got special treatment or vitavon just changed out they way they are being shipped. They are still amazing and seem to be top notch quality.

    I flipped my bumper brackets front and rear and pushed the bumpers in as far as possible, also trimmed the fenders a small amount to get rid of the tire rub, these two mods helped a ton!

    Of course I have a set, haven’t seen them in action because there still on the way. Thanks Joe, this is exactly what I needed to know so money well spent is how I feel now. Haven’t built my 10.3 yet. Wished I could pay someone to build it for me so I can try those axles out by Vitavon as well. There absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

    Flanged bearings in steering knuckles has been around a few years. Less than 5 years, but around. 4 years ago when racing 8th scale & sct, Tekno had them on their 48.4 buggy.

  • @stpbasss3773

    The bearings instead of the bushing washers is just a genius idea. I dont know much about Viviton but from what I've seen their stuff looks amazing, like top of the industry amazing.
    Wow just checked the link and those axles are way cheaper than I thought they would be, I might have to get those.

    I’m building a TRX 4 truck from the ground. I went with the Vitavon axles... must’ve been pre-brass porthole option?! Got them through you Jim! (Your welcome) ... Bought the Yeah RacingTRX 6 axle set (also from Amain through ya) ... not impressed! They look like they’re made out of pot metal! Hope they hold up!!!

    I did NOT think it would make that climb or get the nasty. If you had dual stage foams you may not have got the hook on climb and crack of doom? Great driving! Did it give you a few ideas for the Pink Jeep trx? It may have rolled on the nasty with those garage hack wheels you mentioned?

    • @ExocagedRC
      @ExocagedRC  Před 3 lety +1

      I was as surprised as you when it climbed Twin Ridges. Changing foams can help in one place but hurt in another, its tough to find the perfect compromise
