yeah 3s on the stock drivelines is rough. i ran it in my wraith and had problems twisting them. you have a couple options, MIP shafts will fix it forever, or you can insert a piece of all thread into the male side of the stock driveshaft and it helps keep it from colapsing and twisting. it will still twist the splines, but it makes the stock plastic shafts alot tougher.

Get a 6mm tube or an axial aluminum link and slide it into the center of the driveshaft. Cut it to length. It will keep from twisting the shaft like a pretzel.

| Re: 3s too much? Or a peice of 0.258" CF tube cut to length and CA'ed into the male shaft, works good but may not be enough for the motor mentioned above lol.

I'm running 3s with a 35t. Snapped the front driveshaft, so I did this...no problems so far: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...ml#post3765684 . |
