Are you just after the stock xr10 width?
I guess I should change my question. What would be a good width from hex to hex for you comp guys? "thumbsup"

XR width. Lol.
Thanks yoda, I have been playing around a little this morning and I'm going to go with 9 1/2" +- from outside of hex to outside of hex. I'm not a machinist so everything is kind of by trial and error.
I may have something to show today or tomorrow."thumbsup""thumbsup"

Awesome. Got me excited enough to dig out the old axles. Definitely gonna have to rebuild this thing again
that will make it easy for everybody. "thumbsup"
Happy New Year from The Pacific Northwest to everyone!!
Ok, my 67 year old brain is almost fried trying to figure this out. I wanted to keep the number of pieces I have to fabricate as few as possible.
The first thing I did was make the brass inserts the same as the scale ones, but a little longer. Also came up with a way to capture the two axle housings on the ends.
Pretty cool, I thought, "this is all coming together"! :mrgreen: Wrong....how do I get the capture in place to hold the two haves together, it won't slip over the brass.:twisted::twisted::twisted: I sat and stared at pieces on my work bench for 1/2 hour, nothing! Was getting more frustrated by the minute! Said the heck with it, Sorry comp guys I can't figure this out. I went in the house and watch a great Rose Bowl game ( Go PAC 12).
Got up this morning thinking there has got to be a way! A light came on.
The haves are together, the end cap is on and the brass is inside. How did I do it?

I use 1/8" and 1/4" brass tube to build all my brass tubes.
I just had to bite the bullet and change things up a little. The capture on the ends of the housing was a must (IMO)for durability to hold the shock and link mount half in place when the truck is working.
I need to be able to slide the tube through the end of the axle.
Pieces I'm using for the housing ends.
Now I'm waiting on some unis from RPP to build shafts.
4-40 screws I'm using to hold the brass in place.
I think I'm getting close to testing.
8 7/8" from outside of hex to outside of hex. Hey Robbob will your plates work on this?
The machining is rough, I use some repurposed brass.

Hell yes, lookin good so far. Have you decided on a price yet?
Kinda sucks (for me) going through the trouble finding losi aluminum knuckles a while back (gettin hard to find) and blue monkey knuckle weights just to ditch those now. Lol. But this will totally be worth it. "thumbsup"
