RC4WD Digger Scale Monster Truck Axle
Matt Higgins | May 15, 2014 | Comments 6
This release from RC4WD instantly got our gears turning and we bet we’re not alone. The Digger Scale Monster Truck Axle is perfect for building a scale monster truck. And while we haven’t seen them in action, but based on what we can see, we’re willing to also bet these axles will work as good as they look.
The CNC-machined aluminum axle features an 8 mm output shaft, 14 mm steel wheel hexes, integrated servo mount and multiple options for shock and lower link mounting. The ring gear 43-tooth and the pinion gear is 13-tooth. RC4WD says the axle has a 30° steering angle. RC4WD says you should be able to get the Digger axles for $180.

Does anyone know where to get a 1/10 or 1/8 scale 41 willys truck body?
I like these axles; very cool. however, what I don’t like is, the steering knuckles. they deliberately designed them, to only work with RC4WD wheels. Can’t run Clod wheels. Which means even more expense.
