Hardened steel, only comes with 1 pair of portal gears to complete just 1 axle (no bearings too, sold separately). The portal stub axle shaft is thick for rigidity BUT this comes at a price. The bolt you now have to use isn't the usual 7mm hole but 8mm instead. What this means is that your wheel selection may now be limited depending on the existing wheels you already have. The reason for this is that because of the bigger size bolt, it'll be harder to tighten wheels with smaller diameter bolt holes. This can be solved for by using spacers, which normally people don't like doing. I don't but have no choice. Another one solution is to select/use a wheel that has a wider bolt hole so that your bolt ratchet can tighten the bolt all the way to contact the surface of the wheel.Another thing I noticed is that the front axle seem to bind a bit when you install/clock your axle at an aggressive angle (diff pumpkin at an angle) for more steering angle. When done like so, at full steer, some part of the front axle shaft seem to rub against each other making the whole rig shake a bit (like stutter). Maybe in time this becomes smoother once the axle shaft has been grounded enough (broken in) but so far no major complication has come out of this.Other than that, this set is fine. All fit well with a standard factory Capra housing. I think as far as longevity is concerned this will fare fine but time will tell. I'll have to test this more (and definitely more) when weather is warmer

Stub axle threads and wheel nuts are incorrect size and oversized axles cause binding in the ring and pinion gears. I’d return them if I wasn’t outside the Amazon return window already. Waste of money!!! Buy Axial!!!

Don't bother unless you plan to make modifications to make these fit. I don't, not for the price anyway.
