New power new problems, axle shaft recomendations?

[Snakeob]

New mamba x, first 4s run. lidded it off dirt jump,(not huge) but was on the throttle and one front tire bit. sheared the inner shaft right before pivot joint. Whats good shafts to run with these ar60s? I would like to still use these housings. thanks

Axial universals are good & cheap.

Vanquish xvd or whatever they call their universal type shafts are top of the food chain of currently available direct replacement shafts.

Dont forget rear axle shafts are like wet noodles....VP AR60 CroMo shafts are a worth while upgrade too.

And the Locked Up RC OT shafts are a couple dollars more and definitely worth it...especially if you're running, or plan to run, tubes in your axles.

What is the best source on these, seems vanquish is out of stock and the locked up ones dont show a rr10 bomber listing. Also are Wrath and yeti ar60s the same as bomber? i don want to assume before i order.

Yes, ar60 is an ar60..be it bomber, wraith or yeti

Had my specs wrong...sorry

In other words...the Yeti axle shafts are both the same length. Wraiths and Bombers both have different length axle shafts in each axle.

You might want to check again, the stock 1/10 yeti does NOT come with a centered ar60. Axial never made a centered ar60. Ssd did if I recall and many people made their own, but Axial wasnt one of them. My B1B parts were sourced from a 1/10 yeti roller, complete with stock OCP ar60, just like the kit and rtr manual shows.

Vanquish RCV'S up front. Vanquish chromoly rears.

No worries, its usually me who does that lol

That all helps thank you. Looks like im going with axial universals for now. No rears at this time, im kinda getting low on toy funds. I was hoping i could keep it together for a min after new motor and speed control. Thats how it goes, mo power mo problems

I was looking at the locked up or VP shafts. Is one better than the other and will the VP fit through beef tubes without modification? I’m only running 3s and brushed, but I’d still like an axle upgrade. I already have the Axial universals up front.

[Jboucher]

If the VP have a little "hat" at the end to stop them from going in too far, they will have to be ground down.

The locked up RC have been made to fit through beeftubes but you need a very tight locker since they have nothing preventing them from going in too far.

No ones mentioned dlux axle shafts. Are they no longer made? Myself I'm too poor for such nice amenities as dlux, but aren't they the strongest around?

Vanquish assured me their axle shafts were 4160 chromoly steel. For your application I would select those.
I just replaced fronts in my Ascender - the stock ones are not quite the same thing.
