Ottsix TKO10

These look amazing!

Dat pinion angle doe! Wondering if the housing is plastic or not? Good to see them getting into the aftermarket parts game."thumbsup" Let's try to pry a release date out of em

 

[bilinvic]

Yes, they said the housing is plastic. I hope they will do an XR width version.

You can tell by the finish its plastic - Which is good to keep the price down. Thats what I would like to know... How much are the 4 sets I need going to cost me?

 

[FloridaCrawler]

I think it's cool someone there has the ingenuity to address this problem by thinking outside the box. Makes me really excited to see what else they have up their sleeve. I'll be keeping a close eye on them for sure.

Look pretty good. Anyone know if the the knuckles can be clocked back considerably?

 

[Killa-Cotton]

Those chubs don't look clockable but I'd like to know this as well. The angled pinion is a neat feature.

Right now, it looks like if you want to get any caster, you'll have to roll the axle back but then your lower link mounts are fixing to be turing down into the ground behind the axle. I assume the knuckles are clockable but I had to ask.

The angled pinion is neat. It could be too much for rigs that are setup to have a lower ride height but there are other axle housing options to do that, so that isn't really a big deal.

There is a Facebook group "Ottsix TKO10" with some more pictures.

My rig is crazy low, so that has me wondering but as far as clocking the Cs go --> XR10 mod for the win!

Yeah, I know how to go about fixing it, just curious if it's adjustable out if the box.

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

well damn :shock:

 

[Highmark]

Am I crazy, or does that CV joint look nice and beefy?

 

[Big Daddy]

I love the high pinion, but I can't imagine designing them without splined ends these days. Maybe there is a good reason for it though.
I thought I read somewhere that they also made the C-hubs and knuckles...again why not splined or clamping?

If you spline the ends then some people won't be willing to buy them - either they don't want to upgrade to wraith parts or can't afford it.
Make the ends stock non-splined and the majority that want the splines will find a way to get them.

However, if you are making you own stuff, you could make them splined and make splined C-hubs to fit SCX parts or fit existing XR/AR60 parts. We'll still be modding the shafts to fit but that's okay.

 

[doublej]

Yes you "could" but I think the idea is to hit the biggest market possible with the least amount of work.
KISS - keep it simple.....

They sure don't look like anything from the usual suspects. One of the things I'm looking forward to hearing about from them! You know the more I look at em the more I like them. For example the servo plate that mounts to the aluminum axle truss. No more flexing the wimpy plastic posts with my manly servo.

Here's some info on the Ottsix TKO-10

- Made with engineering grade composite plastic

- Reinforced pinion port (standard size bearing)

-18 degree bearing angle which allows for up to 18 degrees of positive caster/clocking adjustment by simply adjusting the length of the upper links.

- Accepts most standard Axial SCX-10 components including gears (Axial 3 and 4 link truss systems do not fit this housing)

- Servo plate is integrated into the truss.

- Special servo mounts are designed to be fastened from above rather than below.

NOTE:

The aluminum truss and servo mounts are required to make these fully functional.

 

[The Crawl Space]

Definitely interested in these. Any plans for a 3-link and panhard truss?

Not from our camp, but I'm quite sure there will be after market support for components like these.

 

[fr8cture]

Just curious why you guys didn't go with a one piece housing with a diff cover? More expensive? Weaker?
