Inline hex axles?
So I broke a front axle on my RC10 last night. To my surprise, the front axles and blocks are inline with the hex shapes:
I thought all the inline axles were round? Were the hex variety really early versions, or off something else, or what?

Re: Inline hex axles?
all of the wide front end cars had them up until a short time before the worlds car came out. so like 4-5 years or so.

Those are the early inlines, used on team cars, CE, and trucks until the aluminum came out
Damn Scr8p is fast tonight! Lol. I'll step up the game with a part number 6218

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Oh, okay, thanks. Unfortunately AE doesn't seem to show them. Happen to have a part number?

Re: Inline hex axles?
eBay replacements look pricey. You may want to update to the newer round aluminum axles and steering blocks for parts availability if you're not concerned about originality. It's under $10 total for the #6220 aluminum axles and #6225 white steering blocks. Even cheaper if you went with the #6221 black steering blocks.

I know where there's some hex axles if you don't mind waiting on postage.
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

Re: Inline hex axles?
I went ahead and bought a pair off ebay for 13 bux, just to have them, but I am going to put them and the hex steering blocks aside. Norman was generous enough to give me a set of round inline blocks (black) and axles off a GT (I think...), so I'm going to run them now. I would prefer to keep the call "all white," but the steering blocks being black is hardly noticible tucked inside the wheels as they are. And it's a WOIN car (b4 shocks, 2.2" wheels, RCCW towers, etc), so complete originallity is out the window anyway
