That previous axle sparked an old idea of making 100% printed axles. About 4 years ago I worked on that, having housings printed but the big scx10 internals didn't allowed to do them small and nice. Fast forward to the present and adding to my improved 3d skills,we have more choice

Someone suggested TRX4 diff gears and using lockable diff. Was a great idea but the parts are too expensive.Remember that I need 4 sets to make 3 axles. Went to scx10.2 gears from Ebay and they seem good, nice machining and finish

The issue was doing the gear mesh because of the "high pinion" feature but after a few tries, is done

Doesn't seems but it works:

I'm aiming for this,2 halves:



The angle on the pinions is because torque tubes are a possibility. I'm just waiting for parts to arrive to confirm if it's possible
