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

how do i use traxxas shafts or yolks i guess. because they are plastic and strip out too

Traxxas Shafts and Axial shafts use the EXACT same mold for their driveshafts....except the Traxxas shafts are made of better plastic.

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?

no. but its the plastic yolk that goes on the output shaft for the tranny? ive never used loc tite on plastic b4

Ah...well there's your problem..get some steel ones. Traxxas or Axial doesn't matter they're both the same...

also. never use loc-tite on plastic only metal and only blue loc-tite then

Axial ones:

Traxxas ones:

only difference is color.

So for the RC4WD Punishers, the 90mm-120mm shafts will fit the Dingo and Honcho?

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.
