AX10 Driveshaft question

[morpheus_tn]

I've been having issues with my rear driveshaft coming off the transmission shaft. The set screw is not backing out because i can look down inside the shaft when it slips off and i can still see the tip of the screw poking out. I have used locktight on the set screw. I noticed the yoke has two holes for set screws, would it help to put two set screws in it?

Any suggestions?

Yep either a set screw in each side or what i do is cut down a button head screw so it just sticks out a bit and crank down gives you more than a little set screw can take with out stripping

2 is twice as good as one, havnt had this problem, but that makes sense, or drill through the output? pin it all the way through

I thought about doing this but just not sure how difficult the shaft would be to drill.

2 screws will keep it nice and tight...I use cap head screws when I have them, that way I can use vise grips to get them out if they strip out the hex. No loctite for me!!!! Good luck

If it is the stock aluminum output, drilling a hole will severely weaken it and it'll snap off much faster than normal.

i'll agree with that, i didn't know the stock outputs were hollow! i snapped one the other day, replaced it with robinson racing one piece.
