Its an old car. Its a 75 chrysler that im building. And you guys are right about the width thing. Yes it will fit with some work. The leaf springs need to be moved in about 3 inches per side and the axle will fit just fine inside the wheel wells and yes for a little while be out of harms way but the sheetmetal tends to get pushed in pretty fast. I personally think a toy axle would hold the axle shots just about at good as any other. My concern is when i am full throttle flying across the arena and hit another car the bounce of my car going from a wide open movement to a sudden stop is gonna break the small r&p
