|  Question about drive shafts
Just ordered the MIP ones and was wondering...are the HD stock versions A LOT better than the old non HD's? I am new the crawler stuff and was wondering if I could have put the 43 bucks somewhere else? Thanks in advance! |

You will be happy with the MIP's. You may have spent $$ you could have used elsewhere (maybe not.) I like Maxx shafts if you are not running major power. Maxx Shafts. | |

| Re: Question about drive shafts
The reason for asking after is that I have to return something else and could easily send the MIPS back. So the E/T-Maxx shafts work too huh? Dang, everytime I read, "MAXX Shafts" I thought it was a brand. Newbie me. |

| Re: Question about drive shafts Cant go wrong both ways, MIP makes excellent drive lines. If they make it for my rigs, I have it.  If you want additional strength, mods and options, check out Super Shafty. |

Keep the mip shafts you won't have to mess with them again. Also they add a bit of weight down low.

| Re: Question about drive shafts
No experience with the Maxx shafts, but the MIP's I have are standing up to alot of abuse without any issues. Let me nephew drive it last week (5'ish years old) with a Pro4, 3s power and alot of weight in metal on it. Still going.. aside from my front ring and pinion.  |
