Savage XL Super Heavy-duty Axle Upgrade

[killjoyken]

Since I seem to be snapping the stock Savage X Heavy-duty axles almost every time I run I ordered the XL Super heavy-duty axle set to see if they'll hold up to brushless power. The set includes all 4 axles, 4 inner drive cups and 4 outer drive cups for $80. They are considerably beefier and add 2 oz of weight to your driveline. Since I had to disassemble the diffs to change the out drives, I cleaned out the grease and filled the diffs with Mugen 10K weight diff oil. I'm hoping this will tame the erratic handling in loose dirt.

I'll be running the truck tomorrow with my new Tekno Neu 1515 1.5d on 4s so I'll see if they hold up.
