Ninetiesbeard Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 So i got my AR45P axles from chinabay, and ive got to say im not particularly happy. Theyll do for what i want, but they most certainly arent quality items. The gearing feels chewy, the silver on the axles is actually painted (!) and not raw. One axle was seized solid but freed up with a little persuasion. Theyll do for what i want, but beware if you want nice quality items. Oh, and also my wheels dont clear the portals so thats brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on your specific ones as I'd have to have the in hand... Oh and the clearance.... They're designed to run with 2. 2's I think....your running 1.9's I guess... Like myself...? Go grab some hex extenders... +12mm out ones will suffice Edited February 1, 2021 by Fly In My Soup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna shim them, clean and regrease. Might strip the paint, not sure. The wheels only slightly rub, think im going to shim and relieve the portal covers a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
