New SSD SCX10 axle housings

[Killa-Cotton]

Because they are a scale version of a 1:1 Dana 60 axle. SSD wanted to keep the axle housing as scale as possible as well as Axial compatible. IMO they nailed it!

So these axles flip the ring gear to other side. Which reverses everything. Why??

They look awesome

Ok. That seems right. Thanks

Im assuming those diamond rear axles are going to be the same as the ones for the Wraith that mimic the fabricated 9 inch in the 1:1 world.

That's why I had to reverse my throttle channel. I didn't even notice they were flipped.

I will say they do get hung up more than the axial housings, but they look WAY better.

OK SSD, I was forced to assemble my first set of axle housings today without, aluminum bearing clamps and brass tubes. After putting my hands on these I must say that the material used is amazing. I pre-threaded the 2mm diff screws but the other hardware went in with massive bite! Love these housings SSD. Folk's add these to your shopping cart if you haven't already8)

I had the same problem of hanging up also. Would be nice if they had a skid plate to mount to axle. They do look good under the truck.

I really don't see where a skid plate would be necessary. The material is hella thick in every area including the impact points. I feel that the optional diff cover's that I picked up have a nice angle to assist in sliding over rock etc.

I love my set, even got the front to work with the GCM J2 chassis (GCM uses a third link from the opposite side that the SSD is set up for.

I'll post of picks of where it is now. Likely re-do it a bit to add more strength but I love the looks, fit, and finish on these. Not worried about the aluminum bearing caps - just gonna be in a slow scaler for me.

Whats the diameter of the inside of the axle case on the axles

 

[aztitan]

Heres a pic of my rear, some dumb luck on my part = a cool finding to those intrested.

A vanquish 4 link for the curries will fit with minor modification, the top hole lines up perfect, just have to drill 2 holes in the case and trim the 2 nubs off, and you will be golden.im waiting for the beef tubes cause it will be a strong way to attach the sidesof the mount

Are you talking about the axle tubes? It's 13mm od and 8mm id

 

[17dean]

Any pics of the c hubs and knuckles yet?

Yes, thanks! Was wondering if theres enough material to drill it out 7/16 to fit scx10 beef tubes.

 

[SCREAMER]

Or just wait for the brass SSD tubes.
