Default transmission output shaft :(

Alright so I bought some MIP drivelines and now I twisted the output shaft right off. Didn't know it was hollow. Lame.
Any how what is a good replacement? Is it even called a output shaft that connects the drivelines through the transmission.
Thanks for the help

Upgrade your trans internals with these. You will never have an issue again. I run them in my rigs and I am tough on my trucks.

I have read that folks keep the plastic gears cause they are cheaper to replace than cases or other stuff. Which I was wonderin bout cause with a torquey motor was wonderin how plastic would how up. I do like the one piece gear shaft idea though.

You could look at the new ones that are pin through. I don't know if they are hollow too though. But then you also get the benefit of better driveshaft mounting.

This is the best answer I've found.Make sure you buy and replace both at the same time.I made the mistake of replacing just the diff lock gear and not the idler and imedatly took out the plastic idler.I run a 23turn JPH motor on a 3 cell with 2.2 rok-loxs and MIP drivelines in my Honcho and have had no problems with the Robinson racing gears in the tranny.

Can't beat the pure quality of those Robinson racing gears. I was having the same problem with the stock outputs snapped 3, then finally went with the RR hardened one piece n idler.

Well with MIP driveshafts I would upgrade the internals or you will be breaking the gears often... Replace them with the two RR parts I listed and you should be good to go. Good luck

cool sounds like a plan, preciate all the help. Yep thought it was funny at first tryin to catch the side of the couch so I could test out the esc n such before takin outside. didn't even hear a snap or nothin, just wonderin why it couldn't climb very easy. lifted it up and : "I'll be shucked". This rc was just to hold me over til I could wheel when I get stateside. Didn't know it come with the same ups and downs as actual wheelin.

I wonder if ya could drill though the flat part nd use a set screw pin like found on the stock bumper pins. That way it doesn't shift like just a regular set screw?

That would just make it weaker.The stockers are drilled from the inside for some stupid reason and if you drilled a hole thru it, it would just be weaker.

Not too sure about that. I have been using MIPs with the stock trans in my AX-10 for over three years in comps and never had any problems with the internal gears. I have had the diff gears wear out but the trans is holding up just fine.

Trust me the rrp gears don't strip out. The tranny case is like 8 buzz but that is a rare thing to strip out. Had it happen to me once. I'm very hard on my truck and have yet to mess up the rrp gears. It is just one less thing to worry about when you get bound up.

I do suggest either drilling the outputs for s grubscew or grinding a second flat spot for the extra set screw with the MIPS. Even with red locktight I always have to tighten the setscrews every run.

Badd did his the same way ive done both of mine, except I used 3/16 solid steel rod. Drill both sides out, drill a hole on each side for a pin that the bearings hold in place, then drill a hole for the driveshaft set screw and your done!
