|  Fed up with scx10 tr driveshafts!
Me and my brothers driveshafts pop off the transfer case almost EVERY time we go out, the screws are taking a beating from being tightened over and over. What is the solution to something like this? And are there replacement screws for the tiny allen head screws? Could I use a light glue in the hole over the screw to give it some extra strength? thanks ahead of time!  |

I would think so, or a car parts store, or you could always hit up your local hobby shop:-P

Yes, we all have had that problem at one time or another. Blue lock tight and overnight drying will work wonders.

I wouldn't blame it on Axial, I've had the same issues in my Willys outta my Punisher Shafts from RC4WD. A lil thread locker and no more problem. I put thread locker on my SCX-10 when I built it and haven't had a problem.  | |

FYI: Loctite Blue is 242. You don't want to use 222, it's a bit too weak. | |

I actually pondered putting holes through the output shafts and using Traxxas style driveshaft pins, as the are designed to go all the way through the output shaft. But, I am lazy, and cheap, and decided to just get some loc-tite and go to town. Works well enough, but if you want something a little more permament, that is your alteranative.

A word to the wise when using metal screws in metal parts is to always use loctite 242 blue. It's not an option but a necessity.

if they are stripped out you can use the next standard size up from the wrench you are you using now, use 2 grub screws PER yolk and loctight

| Here is what I did to fix the same issue.
Here is what I did to fix the same issue. First I made sure that the shaft was clean and that it was on the flat spot of the shaft, then I bought two extra set screws so that there were two on each end of the shaft, it might be best to get all new set screws and the ones you have are probably smoothed out making them slip off easier. I also purchased the Axial driveshaft rings and installed them on both ends of each driveshaft. I have not had a single problem after I did this. Here is a link for the Axial driveshaft rings. http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/ax305...haft_ring.html You can also get the driveshaft rings from 3racing, Integy, and I am sure there are other companies out there selling them. They run around 7 bucks for two of them. Otherwise you could get the MIP CVD's, I have one set of those, best product out there if you have the money. For a little money you can fix your issues alot cheaper using the driveshaft rings. --John |
