Default 5mm Revo Yoke?

Does anyone make an aftermarket 5mm Revo style yoke?

I'm loving my R2 trans, but hate the sloppy and often flailing driveshafts?

I've found the 5-6mm adapter, but I'd rather have the proper yoke.

Thanks in advance...

I started out with Maxx shafts and snapped them on an all to frequent basis. Once I ran out of those, I switched over to Revo style. Have yet to break one, but no matter what I do (shims, double set screws) I can't get them to stay on the small shaft.

btw: running a 9.5 lb brushless powered super...

Maxx Shafts made easy.

Did this when I ran REVO shafts. Super beef, and I never had a problem.

What you need is just a little tube to take the slack up.

Tried that today. Still spun them. After about 30 minutes the output shaft starts pushing the set screw out past its threads.

Through pins are the only way to go.

Yeah I know it. A new shaft with holes is on my list. I'd drill through mine, but that hardened steel is a beeotch on drillbits.

Get a two flute straight carbide drill bit they are not cheap but slice through hardened steel like butter over and over again.

I must say, thats an awesome mod! It worked out great so far.

However, I'm pretty sure that I now have a line on an actual, factual 1 peice part to do the job...
