| Driveshaft question..
I lost one of my metal yokes out on the trails for my honcho. At 20 bucks a pop im wondering if they make anything better ( Driveshaft wise IN GENERAL)? Like whole driveshafts with yoke and shaft both? is there anything cheaper to use than the metal yoke from axial? I tried a traxxas plastic one but they wouldnt tighten down enough on the output shaft and theyd come off after being strained.. |

Been covered a million times....... Traxxas - cheap n cheerful JunFac - Steal, an ok alternative to MIP MIP - Steal, indestructible, cost a little more RC4WD Punishers - Steal, indestructible, cost a LOT more |

same for the yolks they're the exact same as the axial ones.. just different color...Axial are black anodized and TRX ones are gunmetalish anodized... and are you using blue loc-tite on the grub screws on your yokes? | |

also. never use loc-tite on plastic only metal and only blue loc-tite then Axial ones: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Axial-AX-10-Scorp...#ht_3328wt_698 Traxxas ones: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Traxxas-Stampede-...#ht_1649wt_802 only difference is color. | |

So for the RC4WD Punishers, the 90mm-120mm shafts will fit the Dingo and Honcho? Last edited by arctichorse; 11-12-2010 at 09:00 PM. | |

| Measure the distance from the trans output shaft to the diff pinion. Make sure you take extended and compressed lengths. I don't have stock links so you'll have to measure your truck.

| Alright thanks man, will do, don't have one yet and I have herd people say the Honcho has harder parts to find for the drive line like this, getting one soon though, just getting the performance parts before getting it.
