I run the stock rear shafts with Beeftubes and a Dlux truss in my U4 Wraith and haven't bent one since, not for lack of trying though. The key is to strengthen the housing to keep it from flexing. The Beeftubes also add a nice bit of weight down low.

I was able to straighten mine enuff to make it work i tested it and it ran very close to true but i replaced them anyway I went the vanquish route a good upgrade but the titanium ones are probably the best if you can afford them

Get Beef Tubes in your axles. Or even better there's a company called TJRC that sells the tubes with the splines machined into them. Beef Tubes will be a drop in solution. If you don't want to add weight get the aluminum versions. If you want to add weight you can get brass or stainless steel.

Then upgraded to the CBRB titanium axles and you'll never have to worry about them again.

Hi,
I already have beef tube, give a good stiffness to the rear and the front.
Found these on eBay great price.



And for the axle gone for the vanquish



Stock Vs vanquish



Since no issues , let's run !

When those snap, Creeper Bob titanium. Wait patiently for a sale, then the deal is easy to do!


Hang up and Drive
