Integy axles for Tamiya semi's

[WhiteWolf McBride]

Travis,

Thank you for a very enlightening posting on this new product.

Now, when I asked Integy more, I did get that they ~ARE~ manufactured overseas... so if we could contact the maker, perhaps we could pass along some ideas, yes? Anyone have ideas about whom this maker is?

How about the chance of getting PMD as a supplier for the parts if Integy dislikes carrying the 1/14-1/16 scale stuff (or just replacement pieces)... they seemed to say their interest was more 1/10/1/12 scale for the multi-axle rigs... like that 8x8 monster.

My thread http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...ead.php?t=9565 puts forward the possibility of swapping parts from a Front C24519 and Mid C24521 axle to end up with a Rear C24522 axle, with the other axle-parts becoming a much-searched-for " steerable/driven axle "

YES - its possible, but so far, only Travis has the parts in hand to see if its possible. I'm tempted to try it myself, but at $360 for JUST the axles (driveshafts extra), its not a lightly-made purchase.

Anyone have the parts to try? Even if ya swap them back a few hours later, hm?

Sorry fore dual-posting, but trying to spread the Good News!

Kyle at Integy has told me the axle parts ~ARE~ interchangeable...

And no promises, but they ~may~ be able to give us a quantity-discount if we can organize a group buy of the #1 and #3 axle sets (2 each needed to to make the 8x8 chassis)

SO... how do we spread the word to the guys/gals, and would Ric at PMD (or other distributors) be willing to 'stock-up' on a bunch of sets to help the process along?)

Admin? Group e-mail notice perhaps?

- in for one set (all I can afford at the moment, would like 2, but ... *sigh*)
