About the Brand
Cheap but Not for 3s
These axles are cheap and work fine on a Traxxas Rustler if you're using NiMh or 2s LiPo batteries. They're 5 stars if you stick with those, but only 1 star if you switch to 3s. They wear out in time, but the cost is good and they're easy to swap out. Just watch out for the plastic holes becoming oblong and weak.If you’re gonna run 3s LiPo, either stock up on these or go for a sturdier axle. 3s LiPo can twist or even tear them at the ends.I went through a ton of these and also tried some steel shafts, but they didn't hold up with the 3s LiPo/Brushless VXL setup. Now I'm using MIP X-Duty CVD axles. They're super beefy and heavy (definitely adds weight to the truck) but they won't break.With these strong axles, the Traxxas steel ring differential is now the weak spot. (Much harder to change than the axles) I might have to get a full metal differential case eventually. Once you beef up one part, you quickly find the next weak link.My rule: if something breaks, upgrade it. Use high-quality plastic for most parts, and aluminum for casters and steering links. Keep finding and upgrading the weakest link until it’s as tough as it can be.
