This is the quickview of what at least I see as the clone of the Vanquish Currie HD44 axles. The bonus here being that that cost roughly half the Vanquish. But is it still worth it?

Very informative. Way to go Meus. Keep up the good work.

@FaithSaraG 5 месяцев назад

Those look really nice. It's good to see that they are a good enough clone that stock parts fit. That's the weakness of a lot of the AliExpress axles - if you break them there are no parts available.

Good to be back

@FeralRC 5 месяцев назад

That diff cover angle reminds me of Gmade. You got me looking real hard at Meus axles. I'm pretty impressed and might have to get a set.

@HVT03 5 месяцев назад

Those are some beautiful axles, still expensive for me, but nice to see cheaper options than 300 bucks for a set of metal axles

@NTX_RC 5 месяцев назад

I broke another Element axle again today. I'm officially over Element axles, will be switching to AR44s.

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

The pinion is tiny that it either has to be shimmed absolutely perfectly, or you gotta spend an extra $50 on every front axle for machined gears. They should have just gone high-pinion and run a bigger input gear.

@NTX_RC 5 месяцев назад

@@CrawlerCanyon it's a shame because everything else Element is great.

@lastcreations8845 5 месяцев назад

pull inner axle bearings on the front, more angle :) might try 2 rate lower front spring before weight, riding high high on climbs. look great and look thicker/stronger shafts then stockers.

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

He needs giant bands on the front. Suck down winch? I feel like softer in the front would ruin both descending and sidehilling.

Building a Phoenix kit into a SEMA Bruiser Replica, picked up a set of the Vanquish clear Currie HD44's. Version 1.0 with the kit won't be exact with pan hard and not hydraulic steering, and no provision for the Skid Tread, so a loose approximation look alike. Version 2.0, I want to get a cheap welder and build the actual cage, and try to replicate the winch driven Skid Tread, and have a hard body FJ.

@chantelleaxl4108 5 месяцев назад

just only rename or let say seller name as MEUS but it was a copy of D1RC PASS AXLE.. and same exactly as ROCKjack. the same axle i used i purchased that way back 2years ago.. it work great.. really great👊🍻🤘

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

AT least the price didn't go up. I've seen the D1RC from sellers on AE, where it's ~$300 for the pair. MIght as well buy the real thing at that point.

@2Geek2bChic 5 месяцев назад

That's almost drift car steering angle! 🤓

@thindigital 5 месяцев назад

You can de-anodize those hexes with 'easy off' in a ziploc. They won't look pretty afterwards though!

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

I'm usually happy to get rid of the aluminum hexes anyway. The Vanquish stepped hexes are the only ones that I'm fine with in aluminum. Otherwise, just give me brass.

@kellykuretich6366 5 месяцев назад

👍👍

@chrispearce9224 5 месяцев назад

When you mention the anodizing increasing the diameter of the hex and sticking inside the hubs, I'm thinking the SLW hubs being Imperial sized vs the metric sized hubs is the difference. The SLW hubs measure 11.98-ish because they are but metric hexes measure 12.00 and sometimes 12.01 so you end up with an interference fit. The non-SLW hubs usually measure around 12.05 to 12.07.

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

I'm not sure I have any SLWs. Every hub I've got take metric hardware-- because I buy cheap Amazon hubs.

Trying to install fusion se in my SE and I have never done anything like that before and the direction of confusion me LOL

@Steve_J81 5 месяцев назад

Have you ever looked into shaving the universal? Apparently it stops the caming and allows for more angle. I keep seeing people talk about it in facebook groups.

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

I have not, but Amazon-sourced universals for AR44 are CHEAP, so I might have to. I'm just here for the 50º steering angle.

@thindigital 5 месяцев назад

Have you tried the Loctite chapsticks? Not sure its available in purple.

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

I've only seen the sticks in blue and red, sadly.

@durden.tyler537 5 месяцев назад

Are any of the parts interchangeable with Vanquish, Axial, Element, etc? If you chip a ring gear or break a CVD can it be replaced?

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

Everything is AR44.

@g-man329 5 месяцев назад

Wow man I saw on the weather it looks like y’all are getting rain and storms

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

We got 4.5" today, which is a whole lot, seeing as we average about 15" . We're going to get half the rain for 2024 in four days. Then it won't rain again for 5 months. The desert!

Where’s the link to those axles

@CrawlerCanyon 5 месяцев назад

I have only ever seen these directly from MEUS. There are very similar-looking axles elsewhere, but always with different servo mounts, or strange bolt-on portal boxes. MEUS: www.meusracing.com/products/meus-racing-metal-large-steering-integrated-axle-front-rear-axle-for-axial-scx10-90046-90047-d90-d110 I don't know how they do it, but MEUS delivers FAST. I think the longest I've waited is 6 days. From China.

@vlozity 5 месяцев назад

i think the first thing to do is change that chassis, its a bad design... taking into consideration how modern flat and 6 degree angled skids plates are designed today, that looks so retro.

@@vlozityif there’s anything I like better than a betting man, it’s one who’s willing to double down, when he’s never even looked at the cards. Or in this case, listened to the video or seen any of the videos about the build process. But goodonya nonetheless.
