Both my HR shafts failed the first time out. I think the front and rear joints might be a little weak for this massive truck JMO.

I bought the HR one for the front because it was a super good deal. I haven't ran it because i am not done with my conversion but i don't like the look of it or how it goes together. With load and above 3000rpm i can see this thing flying apart. I bought the DHawk for the rear of my conversion and that thing is like a MIP shaft. No way you are breaking that thing if you get it. I have never broke a MIP and suspect the DHawk will be the same. They are stupid cheap for what you get. |

You don't need one for the front. Better drive axles maybe, but no need for a center DS. Sorry. Kinda left out some details. I am making a Wraith XL that has the back axle in the front so a Rear DS was needed for the "Front". |

I've had the HR driveshaft for a while now (on 6S), and had an issue with the threaded pin retainer cups at each end loosening while driving and letting the pin fall out. I was able to grind down a pin from another application to fit (drill bits might work too). Other users experienced the same issue. I fixed mine by using threadlocker on the both pin retainer cups (somebody else used heat shrink). Now I inspect it regularly as well. the threadlocker makes it difficult to remove the cups, so don't use the strong stuff if you go this route. I also found that the plastic washer/dirt shield that closes the end of each cup was wearing out, and I replaced them with metal flat washers that I drilled out the inner diameter to fit the axle shaft. Aside from the pin retaining design, the driveshaft itself seems robust. PS: I've noticed that GPM uses a similar driveshaft design for other models as well, so you may be able to find a range of lengths from them if you need something different for your custom build.
