Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all
Got this email from Spidertrax today and thought a lot of you guys might be interested.

4) Samurai Axle Testers

We are currently looking for a few Samurai enthusiasts that push their Suzuki's to the limit. As most of you know, we have a sweet spot for these rigs and believe that we have developed the strongest front axle upgrade available. These shafts are not only 4340 Heat Treated Chromoly, but they upgrade the shaft size from 22 to 26 spline. Rated up to 33 inch tires (as strong as they may be, they are still only 26 spline shafts) we are looking for more testers that meet this criteria before our final release. While supplies last, we are offering these shafts for $499.99 and all testers receive a lifetime warranty. We have limited quantities for this test run and they are available now on a first come, first serve basis, so contact us today

Sounds like a good deal. If I wasnt going toys I would definitely put my hand up.

Lifetime warranty =

is this just the shaft only or does it include the cv

Both as they have a different spline count I would say it comes with diff side gears as well.

They come with a 4340crmo CV but DO NOT come with the diff side gears.
If you want to use these, you'll need a complete rear diff centre to fit in the front(or maybe side gears).

would be interested but i am running 34's

So what? 33's is the minimum.
They want to know if they will break so 34's should be good.

I was looking at a write up about these two weeks ago ... an they sound like the goods

http://www.izook.com/tech/samurai/drive ... taxles.htm

is 499 in US dollars

what ya waitng for people jump on board.

4340 ?? since when has that become Chromoly???????????? SO MUCH BULL**IT IN THE 4WD INDUSTRY!
4340 it only has 1.8% nickel - chromium-molybdenum with a tensile range of 930-1080 MPA ( condition U) -( Rc 28-36 ) i would hardly call that chromoly

*bump*

more info sam

Someone is full of IT and I don't think it's Spidertrax.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principal Design Features : AISI 4340 is a heat treatable, low alloy steel containing nickel, chromium and molybdenum. It is known for its toughness and capability of developing high strength in the heat treated condition while retaining good fatigue strength.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications : Typical applications are for structural use, such as aircraft landing gear, power transmission gears and shafts and other structural parts.
Machinability : Machining is best done with this alloy in the annealed or normalized and tempered condition. It can be machined by all conventional methods. However in the high strength conditions of 200 ksi or greater the machinability is only from 25% to 10% that of the alloy in the annealed condition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forming : 4340 has good ductility in the annealed condition and most forming operations are carried out in that condition. It can be bent or formed by spinning or pressing in the annealed state. Bend radii should be 3t or greater.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welding : The alloy can be fusion or resistance welded. Preheat and post heat weld procedures should be followed when welding this alloy by established methods.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heat Treatment : Heat treatment for strengthening is done at 1525 F followed by an oil quench. For high strength (over 200 ksi) the alloy should first be normalized at 1650 F prior to heat treatment. See "Tempering" for strength levels.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forging : Forging may be done in the range of 2250 F max. down to 1800 F.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hot Working : 4340 has very good cold forming capability so that hot working should not be needed. Hot working in any but the annealed condition can affect the strength level. Consult the alloy supplier in regard to hot working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cold Working : The 4340 alloy may be cold worked, in the annealed condition, by conventional methods and tooling. It has good ductility.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annealing : A full anneal may be done at 1550 F followed by controlled (furnace) cooling at a rate not faster than 50 F per hour down to 600 F. From 600 F it may be air cooled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aging : Not applicable to this alloy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempering : The temperature for tempering depends upon the strength level desired. Before tempering the alloy should be in the heat treated or normalized & heat treated condition - see "Heat Treatment". For strength levels in the 260 - 280 ksi range temper at 450 F. For strength in the 125 - 200 ksi range temper at 950 F. Do NOT temper the alloy if it is in the 220 - 260 ksi strength range as tempering can result in degradation of impact resistance for this level of strength.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardening : The alloy will harden by cold working or by heat treatment -- see "Heat Treatment" and "Tempering".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Comments : AISI 4340 is considered to be a "through hardening" steel such that large section sizes can still be heat treated to high strength.
