Those look really nice! I’ll be interested to see how they work. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great review. Some very useful information. I've just ordered one of their fake TRX4 chassis. They don't come with portals so was eyeing up these or similar if I wanted to get a bit more clearance. 👍

You’re a bit like me, i use cheap parts when I can find them, a cheap servo for me is around £4/5 quid, a cheap servo for the scale builder is around $80 dollars, same with escs, i use hobbywing 1040s , 3 for £14 quid, he uses castle escs or better,$140 dollars or more, same with motors. So I love seeing someone else who uses the less pricier options lol 😂. Are you going to be giving it a hammering when she’s finished, maybe try to see if anything breaks or let’s you down. Niiiiiiiiiiice video man. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

They definitely look great hopefully they hold up great

Glad I searched for this….I recently saw someone pop a set of Axial Cupra (?) portal axels on their FTX Kanyon so muggins here is off looking for vids of similar ones….will check out your other vids to see how these hold up…but they definitely look nice and not nearly as bad as some ‘economically efficient’ stuff out of the orient.

cool portal axles

Can you tell us how the hold up the break or anything else?

Is it UTB portal axel for capra? Is it good?? Gears etc...

Hi, any link to buy them? thank you. Ciao Nanni

I use some Injora (SCX ll) Axel clones ,work for one day before front break axelshaft and rear wear out gearing. I hope those portals are way thougher.

I hear shimming pretty much all axles and especially Chinese is a must. Very often the cheapest Chinese parts are zinc alloy cast and this makes tolerances shit. You can get shims (not rc shims) cheaply from ebay

Do the output shafts wobble like they need shims? Are the axles/outputs hardened steel?

If it's a 1/10 crawler you're building... then you'll either want an ar45 width axle (same width as axial scx10 / traxxas trx4)... or if you're building a 1/8 crawler...you'd want am ar60 width axle (otherwise known as a wraith width axle )

@@RccarsUK sorry for m’y English, or mechanical vocabulary, but about those pinion getting ripped, is there anything to do to avoid that? And (with my limited knowledge) I was thinking that the pinion is too much away from the crown.. could a washer placed somewhere solve the issue…? If the pinion is ripped, it’s a bad quality pinion or the pinion and the crown are not “meshed” properly or too much space… I paid both axle 100$… what should I do?
