Default Re: Driven front axle options?

Great info Freddy! You should make this a sticky.

So, starting from narrowest to widest:

1) Stock front axle

2) Carson

3) Rcchannel narrow

4) TLT-1

5) F-350

Does that look right?

If so, where would I get a Carson axle? and how much?

BINGO!That's the exact order.
SmallHaul,the carson front diff is like $200.
For the same price you can get this.

But! Now you have to buy a set of semi rear diffs to match the front. The rear diff that comes w/the front is two wide for semi. But you can't beat the look of these babies.

The carson is like 2mm narrower than rc/channel.

The carson I was purchasing from pmd. But surf a little & you can pick them up a lot cheaper.
Hope this helps!
