Do a freakin search. RC4WD's owner and main head dude said to wait he is working on them and that his stock pieces do not work. I still can't figure out how you guys are snapping these things off... |

I also dont understand how people are destroying driveshafts. I popped a yoke once and that was because I refused to admit I was in a bind situation that I couldnt muscle out of....

My set pins are loose but I havent popped a DS yet. The zip ties squeak a bit but they keep it together!

| punisher shafts
my driveshafts are fine ,but my son keeps popping his apart at the u joint, its easy to do if you have lots of power. zap straps work ,but a little metal ring works better.since he installed them he has not popped a driveshaft.punishers can be modified ,but all they suppliers are doing there r&d and there should be lots of stuff for ax10"s. SOON Be patient

I have done a "freaking search" just a simple YES OR NO will do. besides most of the post about the shafts are all on the first page. rc4wd stock pieces are to long. So a little dremmel time and they should fit theorecticly. I was just wondering if some one tried it. If my post bothers you that much then here is a little bit of advice IGNOR IT and go on to a post you can help some one. I am not here to start an argument. | |

 And, yes....they are snapping off. Probably over 200 guys here have snapped them off or replaced them with something else. Axial has said to use the Traxxas parts to kix the problem! | ||

Here are the Version II Punisher shafts. These are too long for the Axial, but they have shorter one's. These that I have are the 4.72 to 5.9. These should work just right! However, before ordering....Please measure, because I didn't have time! http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=624 Here are the photos of them mounted. They fit nice and snug on the tranny and axle output shafts. I did modify my Punisher shafts a little. I ground down the ends a little to make the set screw fit nice to the flats on the outputs from the tranny and axle. If you get the shafts and need more help, I can post pics of what I did.     Hope this helps. I would figure RC4WD is making the correct length shafts. Thus the reason they say to wait a little. If you can't wait, you should be able to make these work! |

very simple to cut them down like R4L said. Just do it a little at a time, remember you cannot make them longer once they are cut. Band saw, grinding wheel and wire brush wheel is all I used. Dremel might suffer a bit, but will work (invest in a large pack of cutting discs) And as for RC4WD making the correct size, wouldn't count on it; I have needed to modify every part i have ever gotten from them- I see it as sort of a challenge, to actually make things from them work. |

Why have a 3mm hole in the output shaft- then release a driveshaft with a 4mm hole? It is a small little detail, but an annoying one none the less. | |

I almost like the fact that the shafts keep popping off. There are no (almost none) replacement parts out yet, so something has to give before something breaks. When the shaft pops out, all I have to do is just re-tighten the set screw. Im running mamba max/HH cobalt puller, so I can break something with just a touch of throttle at the wrong moment  I have some 1st gen punisher shafts I was planning on using on my wheely king, but these things suck. There is almost NO articulation in those shafts. I sure hope that RC4WD fixed that problem with their 2nd gen shafts. Dont get me wrong, RC4WD has been AWESOME to me. I've bought lots(LOTS) of stuff directly from them, and any time I had a problem, they were quick to fix it at their own cost -Tyler |
