| Yeti dear driveshaft
On my second run with my yeti the rear driveshaft fell apart. Now on my seventh run, it broke. What would you guys recommend for an upgrade Sent from my XT1042 using Tapatalk |

I have been running the MIP Yeti Drive shaft. It works great, no issues with it. MIP X-Duty Rear C-Drive Kit, Axial Yeti |

I run an MIP in the rear and in the fronts. I wouldn't mind trying out that SSD scale shaft though.

I would go with ssd one its a lot simpler . mip is nice but you will need to put it together and if its not done right . you will have trouble with it . the ssd one is new so I do not know the durability of it . but it sounds like the guy builds so quality stuff .

I've been running the stock one for a year... I must drive like an old gray woman.

Im still on the stock driveshaft too. CFM rings on the ends and a couple long screws in the center section has been good enough. Ive grenaded 2 stock rear diffs so far which, in hindsight, probably saved the driveshaft...

I bought my yeti as a upgraded roller. It came with what looked like a brand new MIP. Never had a chance to try stock.

One of the inner screws on my stock shaft came out and the coupler spun inside the plastic shaft before it blew apart. I forced it back in and installed the CFM rings. Been about 2 months and beat the hell out of it and no issues. | |

I've not had a good experience with the MIP. The pins keep breaking. They warrantied it and the next run lasted all of abou one minute maybe att he most. Cleaned the snot out of the threads with alcohol and used red loc tite and probably waited over a week for it to dry. Still failed. I dunno why.
