Was going to keep it lite weight....

Had these axles with brass laying around and well things happened. Now the truck is considerably heavier.. lol.

But it looks neat. How long I'll keep them on is unknown. I run my stuff light now.

What's an extra five pounds when it looks so good?

I've been taking weight off recently. Messing with how the truck moves over obstacles with well places sprung weight vs unsprung. As far as how the truck moves I'm liking it with less unsprung weight and a little more sprung weight in the front on the frame forward of the axle.

I used to make all my crawlers heavy, but I switched to light weight with just a slight forward bias. I installed these axles because I had them collecting dust and the fact I have so much money invested I won't sell them either.. lol ($330 for both axles/brass)
