rubicon steel driveshafts

[allanon1965]

Mip scx10 driveshafts say they are not compatible with the rubicon...anybody using hardened shafts and what kind?

[JK Krawler]

It's my understanding that both MIP and Junfac will fit.I run Junfac myself

[allanon1965]

Which junfac u run?

[pvo_srt4]

I used the MIP kit 10145

see my thread here --> MIP Driveshaft you will run into some issues but it can be resolved

MIP now makes a kit specifically for the SCX10's with the WB8 driveshafts, the kit # is 13360

Axial 1:10 SCX10 Kits #AX90022, #AX90027, #AX90028, #AX90034 | Page 1 of 1

thanks for the info.

The honcho and the rubicon are the same WB so these should fit Junfac Honcho Drive shaft

i seen that as well, but something about the design concerns me, it looks like there are rings holding the cross pins in the shafts, is that a metal ring or a rubber o-ring and how durable is the ring if something hits it while the shaft is spinning?

It's a metal snap ring.The kit came with extra ones.I thought about putting some heat shrink tube over them to help keep them in place

Thanks for the reply

I ran junfacs on my wraith till I broke them and upgraded to MIPS. I had the rocks peel those rings out of their groove a couple times. There is also a set screw like mip has but the pin doesn't have a flat for the set screw to engage like mip does. They also don't slide in themselves very well when they have torque applied. The upside is that they are way lighter than MIPS.

Thanks for letting me know..i will mod the originals and save up for the MIP set

I run the MIP shafts on my Rubicon and had no issues ,swhatsoever. The wheelbase is the same as Honcho so i don't see what the issue would be.
