Touch base with Fred Murry.

I have two axles that I purchased through Fred. I don't think bar stock will work as it comes stock. I think it needs to be taken down a couple of tenths (.0001-.0005 at worst case). I don't think it matters whether its solid bar stock or tube stock.

Titanium is INSANELY expensive in the raw stock form. I checked on prices through our procurement department and an 18" piece would have been well over $75 cost.

All that said, I think Fred was charging $60 for his pieces, if I remember right.

Brad:
I have been running and suppling titanium axles for a few years now. I would not run anything but. I use them on the front and the rear. I have yet to bend one and my car has been thru some major crashes. :wave: :woohoo:

Fred, How much for a front and rear axle for a WCM ? What kind of ends do you run on the front axle? Mike

Mike:
I will get a fresh quote on titanium on Wed as the prices go up and down. Mostly up. Last rear axles I sold were $65.. for an 18 inch wide axle, solid NOT tube. Front axle is 12 inch wide and I use a modified Hughes clamp on the end instead of the taperd ones from WCM. These will accept the stock WCM spindles new or old style. I also use clamps to hold the servo mount and slider. NO holes in the axle to weaken it. If you want photos email me at FMurry8995@aol.com and I will send some your way.
