Must be the least-stressed Atlas axle in existence. Rated at 400-odd lb-ft, being tasked with a whopping 80lb-ft.

Back in my days of Cortina bothering anyone that put an atlas in was also eyeing up a V6 conversion of some sort in the future

Aye, it'll be a good win if you want to put a good engine in, or even a shit one like a ford V6 😉

I got some RC shite to play with. Quite impressed with it to be honest!

That's very cool, I've got the little FMS unimog I won from @loserone and it's bloody brilliant!

Is that the FairRC one? My eldest has been drooling over that for a while.
