Mip

[evan03]

Max shafts are a good option

[wheelhead4x4]

Mip all the way.

[wrangler]

Running MIP's with a ROC 412 2100 no problems

Come on put some power through those MIP's instead of just the week ROC 412 ;)

I'm running 1/8 4 pole motor on 6s through my Max shafts pushing a few more watts then the 412 and pro 4. Something like 3.3hp at 2550watts. Enough power it will rip a tire off the bead and turn the hexes in the plastic wheels while crawling. Got a be carefull when bound up in the rocks.


Another one of a kind drive line is a revo outer stub shaft modified to fit the wraith.



Rear is the revo shaft

MIPs, I believe you have to have AX10 models to run the traxxas m4x2mm pins(part#5145 for 6 pack) and are $20 cheaper than Wraith models. That's what I'm running. I think you have to run the axial stock m3x1.5mm pins with Wraith specific models.

Truism, learned that the hard way.

Save your $$ don't buy the MIP's now, try the max shafts for $12 a pair and if and I mean if you break one you can decide if you want to spend the money on the MIP's or just put extra max shafts in your parts box.

[evan03]

Look at the rigs that run max shafts and who owns them you see some big names and sweet rigs that are punished.


Keep in mind for the crowd that likes flashy bolt on VP parts and all metal these aren't for them. The max shafts take some modding to bolt on. They however do come with the proper pins

I am running stock driveshafts on my axial wraith with a solid steel rod through the center front and back. Here is my electrical system in my wraith:
- Tekin rs with 10.5t gen2 tekin motor
- Venom 3s 11.1 5000mah 50c lipo
- Hitec HS-7980TH with 611 oz. of torque
- Futaba pm-x 3-channel radio system
- Castle Creation 10amp BEC
There are a few extra things but that is what I run on those stock driveshafts and I tell you what they have hold up since I bought that power system, never broken a shaft yet and you don't have to MIP driveshafts on you are wasting your money if you do that, so don't. Cut and measure the diameter of the shaft and the length and cut a steel rod (can get at local hobby shop) then take "shoo-gue" and cover the whole shaft and put it in the driveshaft itself. That's all that's to it, to save you some extra money. I don't take credit on it so it wasn't my idea. It holds up to the power so just try it and don't buy MIP's that bind sometimes. it easy just go get that and you'll be happy, hope this helps, - axial 4x4 crawler

Good to know this!! Thanks!!

With steel on stock shaft I was still ripping the yokes off.

On a side note if often wondered about filling shafts with epoxy
