Yeah, I actually had to take the shield out of each of the Acer bearings, and remove a little material from the inside hole to make them spin free... pain in the ass.

Hi Guys,

I just put on some of the Ti-Axles from Xenon Racing, and they are super light!!! All four axles weight less than 2 of the steel axles, definitely a big reduction on the rotating mass. I'll be trying them out tonight and I'll let you guys know how they hold up under race condition.

Sounds good. Any idea when you'll be getting more red aluminum shaft holders?

They are lovely and light aren't they
haven't seen any problems with mine since I put them in.
Along with aluminium drive shafts and delrin diff it's got to be one of the lightest drivetrains for any shaft drive
