Also, could someone help me identify my axle. It's big ring style, black hubs, yellow nut, maybe trinity ot niftech? The clamping hub is similar to IRS's but it has a counter weight added to the side opposite of the screw. I'll post a pic later when I get home.
Thanks
Your axle in black is a Trinity. They have the counterweighted clamping hub. Niftech axles and hubs only come in polished aluminum.
If you've never had Niftech diff, you are missing the Ferrari of 1/12th diffs.
All the axles I use (Niftech or IRS) use two 1/4x3/8 flanged bearings on the axle, two of the same on the in and outside of the right hub and one 1/4x3/8 unflanged on the spur. I don't think it matters if you use an unflanged bearing on the inside of the right hub though.
