I'm a bit reluctant to try the other Integy ones now. My only other choice is to order the Savage 5T axles from overseas. I'm not too happy to have to wait at least another week for delivery plus $80+ I'm going to spend on them and some new adapters as well.
Lame.....foiled again by Integy's super soft aluminum. I was really having high hopes for these because they look like good units that would work really well, IF they used harder aluminum. Looks like the same thing that happens to all other integy pieces.....soft as lead with the weight of aluminum.

What really needs to happen is someone needs to make stub axles like what is on a LST2/LST XXL so we could just use the normal buggy hex adapters.


Built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff.
