do MIP 11116 driveshafts fit the deadbolt ax10?

[Spence]

Hi guys, I still have the stock driveshafts on my ax10 deadbolt, I don't wanna be rock crawling and have them crumble to bits when I am crawling I have had them for 1 year and a half, so I mean I read that the wraith driveshafts are the same as the deadbolt ax10 and ridgecrest, since the wraith has a longer output on the rear and a longer chassis and the rear links are the same for the wraith and ridgecrest, I read the driveshafts are exactly the same... So the MIP 11116 driveshafts will fit I think after reading a thread on rccrawler...


Thanks

If you've got the Axial WB8 driveshafts, they're about the toughest stock driveshafts of any manufacturer IMHO. I have them in a Wraith, AX10, SCX10, Yeti, and going to use them in a couple of no-name builds. All have 2+ years of use, not too much abuse and still going strong.

But then again, people I know using MIPs swear by them. Only down side they say is the added weight compared to the WB8s.

Well, I guess if they don't fit I can always return them...

Anything guys? I guess I am taking one for the team to see if they fit... I found junfac axles for the wraith for a length comparison, although the junfacs aren't as good as MIP's, I really wished MIP would put a length on their axles assembled, regardless I can fix them with $20 worth of the shorter stub axle outdrives if they don't fit. Funny stuff, axial wants to make a killing of of you with the wb8 driveshafts to fully rebuild them it costs more than a set of MIP's at $14 per single outdrive! Well, comparing to the junfacs, they are the same length as the stock long axle tubes with ends that fit my rig, I hope they fit, just compared to the MIP's that don't have a length in the world...

I bought Junfac's for my Ridgecrest 4 yrs ago and never looked back. Used the Ridgecrest drivetrain for my 1/6, 14.5 lb Jeep, and knock-on-wood, haven't had any issues.

Well guys thanks for not helping guide me, they barely fit, its the extra long outdrive on one side that is for the wraith... This can be fixed for $20 by buying shorter MIP outdrives, but wraith MIP's do fit the deadbolt ax10, but you will need to remove one of the upper link mounts to install them since its a little tight... Hey I came up with a solution lol, I found some plastic propeller adapter rings and since I made custom lower links, I just made the lower links slightly longer Cost me zero$
