how do you like the rc4wd scale yota axles? I know they look great but I've heard they are not shimmed correctly :mad3:

i have been abusing these axles but no problems so far. i put a good amount of power(and time) through them and havent found any excessive wear or felt any binding or anything. shimming an axle is no big deal to me though...tlt axles were the worst.


here is a pic of the brushless winch i have been testing.
