- Here's a quick look at the Chinese portals.... Aka the chortals...
IF YOUR LOOKING TO PURCHASE Any Rc ITEMS OFF alix CLICK HERE

Just a brief overview of what they are, how much they are... And what they look like...
Value for money is high here... I'm used to spending double this on a set of axles...
Only time will tell how well they hold up...!

See description for link to buy the parts I use.. 🔗🔗👌
Could you update the link?
Those look really nice! I’ll be interested to see how they work. 👍🏻👍🏻
You’re a bit like me, i use cheap parts when I can find them, a cheap servo for me is around £4/5 quid, a cheap servo for the scale builder is around $80 dollars, same with escs, i use hobbywing 1040s , 3 for £14 quid, he uses castle escs or better,$140 dollars or more, same with motors. So I love seeing someone else who uses the less pricier options lol 😂. Are you going to be giving it a hammering when she’s finished, maybe try to see if anything breaks or let’s you down. Niiiiiiiiiiice video man. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
Great review. Some very useful information. I've just ordered one of their fake TRX4 chassis. They don't come with portals so was eyeing up these or similar if I wanted to get a bit more clearance. 👍
They definitely look great hopefully they hold up great
Here's hoping amigo!
Cool thanks for sharing
Look legit,Just like Vanquish
These are not even close to vanquish, they are ok for trailing but pot metal is not the same as 7072 aluminum
cool portal axles
Glad I searched for this….I recently saw someone pop a set of Axial Cupra (?) portal axels on their FTX Kanyon so muggins here is off looking for vids of similar ones….will check out your other vids to see how these hold up…but they definitely look nice and not nearly as bad as some ‘economically efficient’ stuff out of the orient.
To be honest... for the price... you can't really go wrong... and I say that with the knowledge that they're durable enough...
@@RccarsUK Thanks mate…that’s what I thought (but didn’t want to assume). Looks like this will be the next purchase in due course hahahaha
Thanks for sharing 🥰
Can you tell us how the hold up the break or anything else?
Chrortals FTW
Is it UTB portal axel for capra? Is it good?? Gears etc...
nice vid! big like, my rc friend! thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching dude
cast part for sure
I use some Injora (SCX ll) Axel clones ,work for one day before front break axelshaft and rear wear out gearing. I hope those portals are way thougher.
I hear shimming pretty much all axles and especially Chinese is a must. Very often the cheapest Chinese parts are zinc alloy cast and this makes tolerances shit. You can get shims (not rc shims) cheaply from ebay
I don't believe you
I’m trying to find aluminum portals for my FTX MAULER. I’m unsure what to order. Is the scx10 2 width correct?
Unsure I don't use dtx stuff sorry
Stripped threads are mostly the problems with those chinese axels/portals.
There is no way in hell that you get enough CNC machine time for GBP80 to machine these, even in China. They are definitely cast. How are the axles holding up?
Yeha they where OK, but the portals had a little back n forth slop due to tolerances...
I've actually sold this build now and built a 6th scale again... That's using actual cnc axles that are £30 each 🤣👍
Nice review,
done subscribe.
They cast them, and then cnc a clean finish on them... Yes the CNC work is that bad. lol
No castor adjustment.
I know it’s been 2 years maybe 3 but how where these axles?
They where good to a point, at the time these where v1 of the "clones", so they had bad slop on the portal gears, later versions where better
@@RccarsUK ok thanks
Hi, any link to buy them? thank you. Ciao Nanni
Do the output shafts wobble like they need shims? Are the axles/outputs hardened steel?
No wobble /play at the moment.
Yes hardened outdrives /gears etc..
See description for link to where I got them👍
If they’d fit traxxas or axial internals they’d be a great great option.
Depends on what ones you get. Some actually fit the stock capra internals. R&p, over drives and so on
@@catiachick I was hoping he’d see if one of those brands fit. Because if you break one of these parts it might be a no pass go on getting parts.
idk why rc axles in general are so expensive they should be like 20 quid for front and rear
Yeah they're kinda expensive... But its R&D to I guess... Or in this case reverse engineering an already available design🤐🤐
@@RccarsUK what do you mean reverse engineering design

2 years later... How they do? I need cheap axels!
They're OK, the early units had mad slop
@@RccarsUK hrm I think the link died :/
Hey man I have a question, Im new to crawling, I was into bashers and racers off-road before. How do know if any axle can fit my rig? what aspect should I consider?
If it's a 1/10 crawler you're building... then you'll either want an ar45 width axle (same width as axial scx10 / traxxas trx4)... or if you're building a 1/8 crawler...you'd want am ar60 width axle (otherwise known as a wraith width axle )
@@RccarsUK thanks a lot man !!! I see some of them written as ar44.. what is it about?
Where do you mount the track bar?
Where you normally mount it amigo
Hi, thanks for your video, I ripped both central pinion, 8 teeth gear the second day… any suggestions?
Errr yeah... Buy better internals for them... The gears don't last long if your caning it round... 👍
Look for some hardened crown & pinion gears
@@RccarsUK so at the end the cheap axle are cheap… but not so much..
Anyways is there not a « play » issue that could be fixed with a washer or something?
@@Indy64738 yeah pretty much.... The casings are cast and not cnc... And the internals aren't the best... But hey... 35 pounds for each axle is very affordable... And you know... You get what you pay for...
The play issue is related to the portal gear mesh and not something you can do much about... Part of the joy of running portals
@@RccarsUK sorry for m’y English, or mechanical vocabulary, but about those pinion getting ripped, is there anything to do to avoid that? And (with my limited knowledge) I was thinking that the pinion is too much away from the crown.. could a washer placed somewhere solve the issue…? If the pinion is ripped, it’s a bad quality pinion or the pinion and the crown are not “meshed” properly or too much space… I paid both axle 100$… what should I do?
Anyways, thanks for your answers..
Link to axles?
Aliexpress...
Just search for ' rc crawler portal axles'
👍
How are these axles holding up
I had them on this rig for roughly 3 months with 0 issues...ran them around 25 times...
Can these be added to any Crawler like the DF-4S?
They can replace any ar/dr/kr44 width solid axles yes.
@@RccarsUK THX
How are these axles holding up? I just ordered a set.
Yes mate, loads of runs... 0 issues so far
@@RccarsUK that's good to hear. Some say they're weak. My truck is only going to be 5 lbs at the most. Have you had it in any binds yet?
Mine broke in 3 minutes, cracked the skinny lower knuckle arm
Yeah that's the issue with cast instead of cnc... you can get a good batch...and bad batches... also... these are knock offs of the vanquish style... but even these are being knocked off now... fakes of fakes amigo
With these cheap China Companies it is all about BLING . Cast Aluminum is never good . The only good about cast aluminum and not that good is looks . Just above plastics and nylon axles for looks goes .
“CNC finished”
Yeah that's not even remotely true.... I know cnc work...and had many cnc axles..... Unfortunately.... There's 0 amount of cnc involved in these....
They're cheap.., EXACTLY, 🙄🤣🤚🏼🛑🚫
You get what you pay for yes of course... But at 30 quid an axle... They're affordable for everyone so swings n roundabouts
