Default Which aftermarket driveshaft for AX10?

I havent broken a stock driveshaft yet, but the shaft ears are starting to twist so i wont be long. I know people say that the MIP shafts are great but i found a couple more to choose from and was wondering how they perform.

INTEGY

If anyone has used these shafts or read anything about them, i would appreciate the input.

I run these and bind everything up so hard it Stalls the motor. ( No Slipper)...They are also rebuildable. $28.99

I don't think so. Unless you can shorten the Rear Shaft down to fit.

I broke a set of those and realized that I should have spent the extra cash and got MIP's

Just finished installing the MIP's and am very happy.

I personally have no experiance with either one of those drive shafts(isn't that what he asked?) but can confirm the MIP's to be bomb proof with a DNA dig and lots of abuse.

I have the MIPs as well, and no breaks yet. Im thinking the weak link moved to something else, so Im not worried at all about the driveshafts now.

The best "aftermarket" driveshafts in my opinion are Maxx shafts or Revo shafts....they are super strong, cheap, reliable, easily rebuildable....
I wouldn't run anything else

Maxx shafts. Strong, light, and cut them down to any size! You can't beat the availability.

No problems with the MIP's. I've read people cut the down for digs. Matt

I sheared the cross pin off that serves as part of their U-joint.
nothing special, just cheap parts.

been debating this move also.

MIPs with Dig setup, or Maxx/Revo/Rustler shafts.

for the cost, i m thinking i ll do the maxx shafts on them.


cost isnt the issue, its haveing to replace more expensive harder to fix parts.
