BK2 axles... options
 

I can't find any BK2 axles anywhere :-(

With the stock of BK2 axles apparently all gone, what are the options to push the driveshaft far enough into the outdrive to gain enough droop?

drill the hole 2mm further out on the AE axle, i have done it with a pedestal drill, its not dead easy but it is possible :(

yipp what lee said,

I smell an opening for a "TrishBit" edition axle...............

trish is already doing them if you send him a set of axles, i know of a couple of peeps who have already done this with good results

I knew he'd be on the ball...

You can get really close to our droop with the stock axles to be fair, not bang on but close but the issue with the B4 ones is that if you raise the tranny you have to limit the shocks.

As the others have said though just get the B4 ones drilled and run thin nuts.

But we are also fully on sorting the issue out as well.

Didn't know your car used BK2 axles any way :p

Have you tried the Bay?

Who said it was for my S2 ;-)

It might just be that you have turned me :o damn you :p

I wondered what those crazy shafts were all about :lol:

Drilling the shafts looks like the easier option though.

But this doesn't seem to be a custom axle, it seems to be a custom Bone! :o

I don't want to know how you did it... :woot: Yes! i want to know!

is it an aluminium tube! have you cutted the bone! and... glue the bone to the tube?

Thank you for your help.

Trish has some to do for me :thumbsup: not sure if there done yet though!
So give him a shout mate.
Trish?

Got an X6 Matt?

they'll be for his S2 Dan

They were for my S2 Dan :)

I thinks its for his S2 Dan :thumbsup:

I'd like to bet he'll be using them on his S2 Dan :woot:

G

Contrary to popular belief its actually for his S2 :)

you're all wrong, they're for his S2

i think you're missing out the possibility that it could be for the S2, crazy i know.

livin the dream

Stan, you started all this madness with the rediculous notion it could be for his S2 :thumbdown: :woot:

:D :D

Hay Doddy, Have you got an X6 ???

Or

Are they for your S2 ???

:p

I don't even know the guy but someone reading this over my shoulder thinks they are for his S2 apparently, but I'm not sure where they got that idea :lol:!

OK ok just to keep it simple, there for my S2! :thumbsup:

If any of you are still looking for the BK2 CVD axle, then have a look on eBay for the complete BK2 CVD set (LOSI A9984). I managed to pick up a brand new set for £11. :thumbsup:

Just looked now and there's only 2nd hand pairs, but definately worth keeping an eye out.

Thats what i got a new set for:thumbsup: inc postage all the way from anchorage alaska:woot::woot::woot:

I can now confirm that we will have the longer axles in stock soon. They will be under an X Factory part number, and will be identical in every way to the BK II axle from Losi. Don't have a shipping date yet, but my fingers are crossed that we will have them in late October. Of course we'll announce it on www.2wdrc.com

That's great news! The wheel nuts keep falling off the B4 axles I drilled :blush:

Craig, turn them round, I do that on the wheel nuts front and rear on X5 and rear only on X6, Getts the nyloc fully onto the thread.

I'll second that, i had to do that when i drilled mine.

I drilled the holes for the pins a bit far out so even backwards nuts fall off :(

I think you need to drill some more then :thumbsup:

I know losi did some thinner nuts with nyloc, in packs of 3, maybe if you can get hold of some give these a try :thumbsup:

I'll just keep tightening my nuts regularly for a few more weeks till the X factory ones arrive to relieve the situation :eh?::D

Thats good news :thumbsup: saves me looking on ebay :yawn:

Are they for you're X6 Matt :p

You know what mate they are :p
