Your rear drive shaft of choice?

[twisted]

I have been running the MI rear drive shaft for awhile now. However it is now smoked. No rebuilding will save this one. The pin has wore a nice groove in the outer cup of the joint. I have cleaned and regreased it on somewhat of a regular basis but the grease works its way out.

Maybe time to look for a better shaft?

i will stay with the wbhd that came with my kit, i keep it as my weak point. cause sheep and easy to fix.
if i will change my mind about keeping the plastic one, i would consider the mip or ssd one. many here go with the mip.

I'd still go with another MIP. If you can, drill another pair of holes in it and rebuild it. I've been running one problem free since March so I'm very happy.

I wasted the plastic one in like 3 packs.

MIP for me. Haven't run it hard enough to find a weak point yet. Still looking for a good spot to push it.

I just bought an MIP shaft.

MIP, good lube, red and tacky or moly grease. I run mip on all my powered up rigs, yet to find stronger without custom fabbed titanium

I'm running stock kit ones for now. Running 2S 4600kv. Haven't run the Yeti that much yet, but I don't think I'm pushing hard enough for the stock one to break yet. Will definitely consider the MIP one if my stock shaft dies though.

MIP has been working out great for me

MIP for sure. Clean it and regrease it every now and then

Traxxas Maxx shafts. Cheap, light, quiet, won't rust immediately like MIPs, tighter tolerances, won't fall apart like MIPs if you don't red loctite them before each run, won't wobble at speed like MIPs, they're even better looking than MIPs. That MIP "kit" posted above proves my point that MIP doesn't R&D anything or create new kits or parts. They go to the bin and find "close enough" then make a "kit" and charge you way too much for I'll fitting, failure prone parts.

Traxxas 4927x (x2) and 4951x (x1) will give you two complete driveshafts with stronger hardware for less than $20.

I only use MIP, been using them for years.

I'm not in ..... never wobbled when assembled in phase, never needed RED loctite, lightly greased no rust, I live in the swamp, most everything rusts here outside.
My MIP kits have always fit correctly , I'm on my 4th rig with them, I prefer them on my 4x4Slash vs the Traxxas junk.

Just ordered the MIP shaft because it seemed to be a decent price and I needed to get some shock oil at Tower. Will save it for backup. Might look into the traxxas bits as well, just to try them out.
