Thanks bro. I pulled it apart yesterday and it looks like I smoked it!

Spacers came from aluminumspacers.com
They have just about all the sizes you can think of. Pretty cheap too!

Those axles look very much like the old "FireHammer" axles. Are those 8mm shafts? If they are the firehammer axles are probably about the same size and are a lot cheaper.

Jerry, I hope you're wrong just for what I went through to get these
But I hope you're right so everybody else can go the cheaper route!


I have no idea what the old firehammer axles look like. I googled it and the picture showed an axle which looked a lot longer than these and had a threaded tip, not to mention no hole for a pin to go through. Can you link me?

No you are correct. I drilled a hole for the pin, and then cut off the threaded part of the stubshaft with my dremel tool. Then I installed a set of HPI 17mm adapters so they can push the Axial beadlock wheels. They work perfectly.

The Flux dog bones have an 11mm ball. I don't think there is a detachable cup you can buy in that size?

Those axles probably wouldn't have the cup size to suit the SHD Flux bones.

Why not? I am using them on a 3906 EMaxx right now. I wanted a set of axles with some beef to them to avoid breakage in a very heavy duty setup, so I got a full set of these 8mm stubs and modified them to fit the Max knuckles runing them with dogbones. The thing is once you go beefy on one part of the drivetrain, then you have to go down the line and beef up every other part to that line in order to creat a bullitproof truck.
