MIP Driveshafts for Spawn

[Gravestang]

Can anyone tell me if the AX10 driveshafts work for the Spawn like Harley did on his PS? I know the shafts are a little different and wanted to make sure before I ordered them, Thanks in advance!

Not sure about the AX10 shafts, but MIP makes a kit specifically for the Wraith that covers all versions.

I feel like I've read somewhere, maybe from Harley that its best to use AX10 MIP driveshafts just because they come with a 2.0mm set screw over the 1.5mm set screw from the Wraith driveshafts. 2.0mm set screw obviously letting you torque down a little more. Am I remembering correctly or no? Not that it's a huge game changer being a 1.5mm set screw.

The AX10 shafts work fine, there's no difference in any of the Wraiths in trans output or axle input.
Yes Grigz you remember correctly, it's in Harleys guide that the MIP Wraith shaft set uses the stock Axial screw pins which have only the 1.5mm hex, the AX10 shaft set uses the bigger Traxxas size pins with the 2mm hex (just have to remember to order along with the shafts)

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

The Wratih set has 2 longer outputs to help clear the spur gear/skid. I have never stripped a 1.5mm pin, just use a quality driver.

When you upgrade to 6mm outputs on the trans you have to go with an mip end that uses the bigger pin also.

This. I don't even loctite my pins. Just snug them up with a good driver and check before/after every run. I rarely find a loose one.
