Default What are the best drive shafts?

Hey guys I'm needing to replace the stock drive shafts they are starting to twist. What are the best aftermarket ones out there? Thanks

I'm a fan of MIP products, they get my vote. Have them on 3 rigs.

Best is a loose term.

MIP's are the go to for high power and the install & never worry again crowd.

I like the Traxxas Maxx shafts because they are stronger & cheaper than the axials.

MIPs are rediculusly strong and work great. I use them anytime I'm running big power. Maxx shafts work well and since they use u joints the are a little more scale looking.

j/k of course.........MiP all the way, even if you don't have an over powered rig, they are just smooth and solid.

Fact, don't forget the red. A little soldering iron heat will release it if needed.

I used blue LocTite on my set screws and haven't had any problems with them coming loose and I've put many miles on my rig this year.
