Which Hot Racing drive shaft?

[Motorider]

They have 2 drive shafts. One is an EZ install and the other one requires removal of rear pinion gear. Please advise which one is better as I need to get this ordered to get my truck back up and running. Thanks in advance

NONE. I have broke 2 at the front pivot joint. I just got the D HAWK one installed killer stout piece from the feel and looks but no testing yet. hopefully next weekend.

Thanks Steve. I have one on order. Next up, do you think the aluminum truss brace is worth it? Will it help with flex in the rear diff? I can't see spending 179 on the vanquish axle housing. It looks like an amazing piece, but it's way outta my league.

Next question is when can I expect my front diff to grenade?

Last question is, is there any particular reason my 500k spider gear oil looks like it's full of goldschlagger? How could they have that much wear?

Thanks for your help.

Don't know about the aluminum brace. Looks good but is it needed? Don't know about front diff eating gears either. I only have about 8 sets of batteries through my kit now (thanks to a ton of other stuff that has busted). As far as Goldschlager I think its just normal diff gear wear. All 5 of my other trucks have crappy looking diff oil when I service them with no signs of damage. I think it is normal gear wear mixing with the diff fluid.

I only have about one pack or so in mine. Average run time is 7 min before it breaks. 2 of those times was playing on a flat dirt road. It has broken 7 times so far. I had one run last nearly 20 min before the wheel melted off... Lol.
