|  scx10 driveshafts? ok this is a new one to me. installing the steel universal joints to the drive shafts??? how do you do it? do you take the pins out? if so, arent they going to fall out all the time afterwards because there a press fit? please tell me that you bend the ends of the shafts to get them on? if so, wont the ends of the shafts start to get brittle or break? I cant beleive that Ive never run into this before!! tempted to try some old revo shafts???very tempting indeed! |

| They are very easy to install. Stick a regulare screwdriver in between the yolk on your aluminium side and then just put 1 pin in the plastic side hole and the screwdriver will hold the aluminium piece solid and slide the plastic over the other pin until it pops into the hole. Man I wish I was home, I would shoot some pics for you. It works well and is very easy. |

| i think theres a tool out there to do it also but if u take a peice of scrap metal and cut a small slit in it it works just as good. |

| I boil mine, well not really, boil some water, place the drive shafts in a mug poor the hot water in to the mug and let them sit for 3-4 min till the ears are soft and flexable and thay should go onto the steal uni easy. One other thing i do is on the automotive toggel switches i take the locking ring off them and screw the on to the sharft as far as thay will go them put them on the uni then screw them back up near were the pins are, to this day have never had one fail.....touch wood.... |

| I simply stick one side of the pin into the hole the press the joint into the shaft so that the other pin is right up against the shaft. Then just grab the joint with a needle nose pliers and twist. Snap it's in that easy. No special tool, no heating. Jason |
