hey guys, im building a mini desert truck similar to the hpi trophy truck, i plan on using the front independent of a rc18, and i want a straight axle in the back. I was looking at losi's mini rock crawlers axles, i like those because i need the halfshafts for the type of suspension i designed, So here is my problem, I need a small axle that is durable and can withstand some pretty decent speeds(hopeing 40 to 50mph) Any help would be appreciated, thanks

What do you need for a width? RC4wd makes a nice 1/18 axle.

i need about 7 to 8in for width, does anyone know if the gearing is the same for the mini rock crawler axle as the rc18 gear box? or how to find out?
