Default Trans outputs?

Does any one know where I can get some outputs for my trans? I REALLY want the 6mm outputs from yotachump but I cant seem to get a hold of him and my truck has already been down for a week. I really wanna get this thing up and running. Any suggestions?

If your talkin about the 6mm shafts drilled for Maxx Shafts then your out of luck, just as i am. He wont even run a small batch for the people who need them.

If was was able to make the output shafts myself I would. but I cant I have to get a min of 50 sets made. and I just dont see the demand for that right now...I don't want to be sitting on a bunch of output shafts..If you can find 30 people that want them Ill get them made.

Why do you need 6mm output shafts? If it's so you can run maxx shafts then maybee give this a try.

Maxx Shafts made easy.

Or I know RC4WD has 5mm to 6mm adapters.

Because not all of us have lathes, I know I don't. And before you start saying about hand drills and vices, I can tell you it is far cleaner to get a set of yotas' outputs than hacking up parts with a possibilty of getting it right.

Ok, well guys on here have been running maxx shafts since back in the TLT days and with a little time and patience it can be done. I'm not telling ya to slap it in a vice and drill the crap out of it, just trying to give some other options.

Personaly I would go with the MIP drivelines and forget the rest.

I know MIPs are a solution, I use junfacs, but the outputs Yota made were the absolute solution IMHO. They were longer and very well desinged to hold loads and use a variety of gearing something I could not do with the sleeve method I did. I may sound like an add to yotas products but truth is I got really frustrated that he stopped production of some of his great products due to some A$$h0l3$ ripping off his hard work. This alone is reason enough for me to ask for his products even if someone elses is better. I prefer to support the guys that actually do the thinking for me and not the "cheating" for me.

With a little time in front of the bench I ended up with this. No laith necessary. I have made over 30 of these for guys in my club and not one has failed.

Cleaner? who cares what it looks like as long as it works. Put maxx shafts on mine with less the 15 min a shaft. With out a lathe.

Yah Im lookin for the maxx shafts and just want less headaches. I tried the pede shafts and my truck twists them up like candy canes in 5-10 minutes. And I wanna stay away from the steel ones because then I will have the same cvd problems that everyone else has. I wanna find a good balance between durable and competetive. And cvd's seem to be just too much of a weak point to put on my truck.

The MIP driveshafts are extremely beefy, I'd be surprised if you break them. I've not heard of a single problem with them

Im positive i wouldnt break them but I know the cvd pins are notorious for coming out and I just dont wanna give my truck the chance to act up on me.

Even though I am not American I do know that clean installation does not only mean "dirt free" but also OEM style easy installation. I understand you good with drilling and tools but I am not, that is exactly why I want a "clean" installation.

BTW there is a saying in management that goes "If it looks like s**t, it probably is".

Are you trying to just upgrade your driveshafts or are you looking specifically for a crossdrilled output shaft for the trans? If you're just looking for a stronger driveshaft, you could use Jato's. They fit a 5mm output and are pretty damn strong. If you just want the crossdrilled output...do you have a drillpress or hand drill? You can drill them out with a bit of patience.

I am talking about the trans outputs. I have found decent solutions that hold up. My whole point is that we had a guy who made a really good part and this is obvious by how many members here still sak for this part. I for one do not have good equipment to fabricate stuff so I highly value value people like Yota that make stuff to help make my life easier. Don't get me wrong, I like making my own stuff, I have used your templates one too many times in the past (Thanks) but not all things are doable with my limited tooling.
