Their current shafts work fine. AX10 non-dig are an easy bolt-on if you grab some 4mm pin style set screws.

Yup that's what I did and for extra precaution I put a set screw on both sides of the pinon.

Well I'm not Harley but....I'm using e-maxx drive shaft pins on my MIP's they work good. They're a little long but once ya seat them just take a dremel and grind off a few threads on head and a little on the other side where it pops thru and your good to go!

No it's not just a set screw, it's like the stock pins but 4mm.

Go download the manual from Axial's site. You will be able to answer a lot of your own questions.

We are talking about driveshafts... The pins that hold them on. Download the manual. MIP uses 4mm, that was said above.

So what you meant was just swapping out the regular 4mm(MIP) set-screw
with a 4mm pin-style set screw.
