C3 Straight Switchback Front Axle

C3 Straight Axle

Wide Stance. Low Profile. Maximum Steering.

The Exo C3 Straight Axle is built for Class 3 crawlers looking for a wide, stable footprint with the simplicity and low profile of a straight axle. At 225mm / 8.85” hex face to hex face, the C3 Straight delivers increased stability for aggressive terrain while still providing an impressive 60° of steering.

Machined from 7075 aluminum with a polished finish, the C3 Straight features a carbon fiber lay-down servo mount, keeping the servo low and compact for improved packaging and a lower center of gravity.

The axle comes standard with heavyweight knuckles, placing additional weight directly at the ends of the axle where it can improve front-end weight bias and stability. 8° C-hubs and Grade 5 titanium steering and tie-rod links provide a strong, precise steering system designed to take full advantage of the axle’s 60° steering capability.

Power is transferred through durable 6mm stub shafts, with matching hexes and wheel nuts included.

For builders looking for a complete drivetrain solution, the C3 Straight is available with our AR44-based Exo 30/8T ring and pinion and titanium locker.
