Is there stuff any good? 390.00 for HD axles?   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Senior Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 625 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 04:52 pm:    He is on the www.D-90.com BB maybe you could inquire there. I think there are some people running his stuff there.   Thomas Abernethy (Toadisco311) Member Username: Toadisco311 Post Number: 48 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 07:43 pm:    I run their HD rear axles. They are very beefy and seem to be a good product. Probally equal to or better in strength than maxidrive in my opinion,especially for 390$   Nathan Hindman (Nathanh) Member Username: Nathanh Post Number: 123 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2004 - 11:57 am:    Will, I'm actually good friends with Keith who does the technical work for RT Designs (Rover Tracks). I can honestly say that I'm incredibly impressed with the work that he puts into R&D and fabrication. Basically, he has the axles fabricated by an outside source (can't remember who) but then he has them heat treated to alter the specific metallurgic properties so that they're pretty f'n strong. At the heat treating place, he has access to a full metallurgic lab, where they take samples out and check them out microscpically to ensure the crystalline structure is correct on the axles and CVs. All in all it was pretty impressive process to see, and I wouldn't hesitate at all to run their stuff on my truck.
