RC4WD 1/24 Axle

RC4WD, producer of popular crawler and scaler parts and accessories, has just announced that they have a 1/24th scale axle in the works.

Quote:

This will be a miniature version of the big brother T-rex 60. The front axle will have a removable axle C, so it will be beef up.

We will offer both spool and limited slip differential as option.

We will work as fast as we can, hopefully we can ship the prebuild ARTR within 1-2 months.
This will be very nice for all you Mini-Scalers

Hi Roketmini
That’s good news. I have been looking forward for LSD for my 4wd Mini-z. Any idea of the material they’ll be using?
Thx
Cheers

The idea behind the axles is that it gives you a much needed platform to build your own scale 4x4 vehicle or micro rock crawler. For the longest time people have used axles from 1/43 SSMT's which quality wise suck but scale wise looked decent for 1/24th scale.

hopefully they build them strong with worm gears.

No, this is for people who like 4x4 Trucks.

Here is an example of a 1/24 that uses the SSMT axles:

thats great news, i heard something a while back but i didnt theyd done anything about it since... as long as it stays affordable, these things will launch themselves off the shelves.
richard- you could use it on an ma010 if you really did want to, and fancied going extremely custom- there would be 0 benefit from it though haha.

I want to know more about the overall size and the price point. The price is the big issue here, as RC4WD is known for some high dollar parts. They are good quality but you pay for that. I love my clodbusters but I have seen alot of them that run as much on the parts bill as a good ATV.

At the same time I built many 4X4 model kits wishing I can drive it over the junk on my desk when I am done.
