No they don't. They are placed inside the steering blocks and then held in place by the king pins. And that is exactly why they are so fragile. It is very simple to replace these items with a set of machined delrin steering blocks from CRC and a set of titanium axles, also from CRC. It will fit perfectly because the king pin is made in a imperial size...

I had a HB C12 and I replaced that on the front of the car and also the rear axle for a IRS rear axle from Team Associated (RC12L4). Then you will have a real performer...

A graphite axle like the one from IRS is about 12gr. lighter than the stock aluminum 3 piece axle from the C12. Your rotating mass will go down by doing this...

I am curious where you use the M4 nuts then, do you use them to space out the axle so you can use the Prism wheels? If so than I guess you will place 3 nuts on each side between the wheel and the hub. That will never run 100% true and also creates more work on the car when you change tires. If you did mean to put some 1/4" axle shims on the axle itself. That is not enough to compensate the 3mm offset of the Prism wheels and therefore the rear end will be narrower than it should be. I have owned a C12 and tried both of these things to compensate the offset of the Prisms and both of them didn't work...

I also don't like the plastic nuts from IRS and therefore I placed a Slapmaster Thrustbearing on the axle. It has a aluminum nut and makes the diff super!!!

I'm sorry? What do you mean? The C12 is equipped with a T-bar, that is correct or are you looking for spare T-bars? You can also use the AE RC12L4 T-bars...
