I know Joe and Willy DIY'd them a while back, but isn't anyone even making a ~kit~ for those of us with minimal tools?
Only Robbe really makes one 'off-the-shelf', and I honestly don't like their axles when compared to Tamiya ones. Dislike 'em enough to ditch my 8x8 'Panther' chassis if I can do it with Tamiya parts (and they AIN'T cheap)
So, guys... is there a way for us Neanderthals?

It is not that hard. Buy a TLT axle Kit, extra pinion, and axle housings. Then just trim the two pinion halves to fit together. This has been done in a few threads here on the forum. All you will need for tooling is the normal tools to assemble an axle and a hobby knife for the mods to the axle housing.
Here is a pic of a set of TLT's used that way. He is using them as steerable rear axles but it is still exactly the same.
