MIP all the way. Only shafts I will ever buy. I haven't broken a single part on any of my MIP shafts in 4 years.

Can't go wrong with MIPs. They'll take pretty much anything you throw at them & beg for more.

Ihave been using the MIP's and the rc4wd punisher shafts on my wraith's for awhile now and have had no issues with either one. The Wraith with the punishers is brushless powered and they have held up just fine!

MIP. Just make sure to take your time when putting them together. Lock tight for sure and you can put some heat shrink wrap around the joints to keep the pins in.

That means clean them entirely of any residual machining oil or slime or whatever that it before you assemble them and before you use Loctite. Then Loctite, then lube em up.

I wonder if those MIP shafts work good. I've heard nothing but bad things.

Just got my budget badboys from asiatees made by topcad. Really heavy and thick. And dirt cheap.
