Vassili, you are referring to preferring to "that axletype" 2 posts up. Is that something commercial or your favourite design of the axles you've made yourself?
 
Hi Vass,
How heavy are those (Traxxas-type but metal) axles - they look very, erm, solid?
With the relative power / torque of the petrol engines, is there going to be a wear point on the sliding section after a while which stops the idea being useful - stops it sliding?

I hadn't any promblem till now with these parts.
Sliding section is the strongest piece on axle.Its movement is about 3 - 5 mm for 50mm suspansion travel, ( ... to this car ) works dust free and greased.
( ... if I understand what you say )

Hi Vass. More-or-less, yes.
The sliding action - I was thinking it might stay within a few mm of one part and start wearing.
The other thought was the sheer mass (weight) of it relative to normal dogbones or CVD's or ball drives. Looks very heavy.

Of cource this axle weight more than dogbones but in a 45 cc engine, about 17 kg car , 200gr to axles more isnt so bad, I think.

Looks heavy but and ... techno freak .:)
