| custom driveshafts?
Hello, so i put my rock-force axles in my wreckluse chassis and bought a comp crawler trans so i have f/r dig and im not thrilled with the losi drive shafts but the problem is the output on the losi trans is 4mm(i believe) and on my axles 6mm(i believe) and there isant much clearance on the transmission end for my rock force u joints (dia. wise). So i figured id ask and see if any one has run into something similar or has a solution for it .I just want some metal u joints that dont snap(5mins into first test run) or make so much noise like the losi's did. any help greatly appreciated i want to get this thing moving im sick of looking at it sit

Well..... You could drill out one end of your Drive shafts to 6mm Or......you could get your 6mm pinions milled down to 4mm Or......you could switch to a AXIAL transmission and get some custom 6mm outputs by "Crawler Innovations.... Those are the only 3 solutions I can think of Regards V8 | |

yea i figured id have to do something of that nature , or if i can get a collar of some sort to slide over the trans output then on the other side its 6mm and this would also move it away from the trans so my rock force shafts would work. As for the 5 mm thanks that was my second problem as i cant get the drive shaft off the transmission thos dam little set screws are striping ect.... grrr | |

So id still like to use the rock force u joints as there beefy and adjusting the length is easy so i'm looking for a step up collar similar to this. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/CLI...EZ3?Pid=search Im still searching but figured id ask and see anyone knows a better place to look i believe i need 5mm to 6mm step up (as i still didn't get the old u joint off the losi output to measure it.. dam small set screws...) as always any input is appreciated,Thanks |

if any one else was interested http://www.tcscrawlers.com/RC4WD-5mm...0-p-16417.html or You can either buy the Traxxas PN#4927X trans yoke (which fits a 5mm shaft) and use them with a standard Maxx axle driveshaft (which fits a 6mm shaft)....or you can use the Traxxas steel yokes that are much smaller than the Maxx yokes and fit 5mm shafts, then modify the rest of the Maxx shaft to fit the smaller steel yoke shaft. If that made any sense |
