|  Upgrade for the axial spur HUB ?
Axial transmission spur HUB, I cant believe how poorly this thing is made with cheap plastic. Is there something stronger that is an upgrade other than making one ? |

I guess this is the only alternative http://www.hot-racing.com/index.cgi?...=SCP1505&c=420 something worth having in the tool box when yours blows |

ive been using the factory adaptor for about 4 months now and have yet to have a problem  (if it aint broke don't fix it.) you'll end up with more expensive problems, and its always better to have a cheap weak link!

I'm still running the original spur/assembly from when I bought my truck new 8 months ago...never had a problem. Even with a 5t puller and no slipper its holding up just fine. A metal spur would be a big no-no IMO. Plastic is a cheap weak link, much better than an expensive weak link.

I found this mod and it works amazing. I havent had a single stripped gear or anything since. Slash type slipper mod! |

Thanks slowguy, that looks pretty good, I have a aluminum hub that Icould use but just like that thread I would have to drill a hole for the pin and I am not to confident on it's durability. YEa the stock plastic should work for a long time for those light 2.2's I guess I should actually say it has held up very well in a 10 lb. Super I agree with a weak link system. the slipper did not hold enough and I didn't spend any time fabricating a tougher one Last edited by toy4crawlin; 12-21-2009 at 01:04 PM. |

 You don't put a pick-up truck transmission in a semi and expect it to hold up. It's a 1/10th scale transmission. | ||

 But yes, for the o.p., it's probably it bit on the weak side for a super. | |

what gears you running in that thing? I have stripped my aluminum tranny gears, but never stripped one for those.
