After over 9 hrs of total runtime on these axle on a brushless 1.9 wraith, the axles have survived and are still looking pretty good.
the housing and axle shafts held up very well, while there is noticiable wear on the lockers and ring & pinion gears unfortunately, durability seems to be on par with RTR sintered gears.
Fortunately the internal componenets are interchangable with stock parts which allows for potential upgrades and acess to replacement parts
I can still recommend these as they are great value for money and actually are not complete garbage unlike other fully assembled axles. as a cosmetic upgrade, these are a fantastic alternative for the elusive AR44 vanquish rockjocks.
