LOL if you think Integy makes good quality crap LOL> The only thing Integy that I've seen last is thier crawler/lathe motors (not made by them, just got their name on them.)

TopCad is Integy? I'll pass then. The only decent Integy I have ever seen is the hex set with torque wrench handle I have. I doubt they manaufacture it..

Remember...... you always get what you pay for. Cheap + topcad = FAIL

I paid 60$ for the MIP shafts and had to only pay for it once..... after breaking that cheap shit twice, then you could've paid for a set of something with quality

I have c hubs, knuckles, lockouts , drive shafts etc etc and for bashing or hardcore crawling YES is your answer, if you want a show rig and have bottomless pockets then use vp.
Personally i love top cad and when my 2 year old Honcho finally brakes something other than drive shafts I'll kit it out in top cad stuff. My Wraith is fully top caded out.

I can't see how you could have possibly broken the top cad drive shafts. They are very thick and heavy. Got any pictures?

As for top cad being integy? First I've heard of it. Couldn't find out on the web either.

Not sure if anyone mentioned MIP?

[motoxkfx]

i got the MIP and what do you know no breaks yet. so what is the next week link going to be? i have all steel gears in a aluminum housing,steel axles, hardened steel beveled gears, steel sper gear and pinion.

who makes the best axles?

[ax10newguy]

only thing ive busted with mip shafts are the pins. piano wire is the fix and dos not break. period...

[Lou-Dog]

I'm not sure what car it is going in, but the RC4WD Steel Punisher Shaft are tough suckers! If you break one of them I think you should reconsider battery/motor set up.

[XJkid93]

MIP all the way, I got them on my slash 4x4 and slammed it into a curb at an angle doing about 40 mph and nothing on them broke, the slash on the other hand well it became a kit build lol.

[SwampDawg]

i seen the "Wraith" CVD's by MIP.....ill be getting a set of those babies when the bank tops up again!
they are stout as you will ever get!

That looks like a good list of parts. The next weak point is most likely the locker if you haven't upgraded. I've read good things about super 300's for axles, I think they come with their own locker.

I'll have to give the MIP's a go. I managed to make the front and rear stock shafts look like charbroiled twizzlers after only 2 packs with a 17.5 on 3s.

[Hillbillybychoice]

As has already been expressed...MIP!

NO....and neither is Integy....but buy it if you like low price as the main feature. As somebody else said they sell re-labelled lathe motors that are good, but stay away from the rest of their junk.

[madkawi650]

I have the Topcad shafts on my Honcho run ing 3s and they have been rock solid.. I did remove and loctite all the set screws and I even replaced some with cap screws so I could really tighten them down.. NO problems with them at all!!
Plus.... They were only $23 for a pair.. Not saying MIP aren't the best.. But on a budget, the TopCad stuff is ok..
I have Integy shafts as well and they had been tortured to no end.. They are very strong too. The Topcad shafts are very different. They are smaller diameter and have a different slider shaft. Plus he Topcad shafts have a retainer ring to hold the crosspin

Believe it or not I'm still running stock axials with aluminum pipes glued in the holes. Waiting for them to break but they just keep on going.

Oh, I'm running a Pro-4 3300 on 3s.
