Question Scx10iii center drive (metal)

So question looking to upgrade my center drive shafts for my scx10iii kit
Forums say go with mip generally speaking but only compatible part I found were mip #13360 which is now discontinued and was merged into one kit with another now called mip #18160 but the description does not specify a scx10iii at all
What I'm asking is does anyone know if the 18160 is compatible or if there is a cheaper driveshaft out there that's just as tough

I believe the incision metal shafts will work, but haven’t done it myself.

Any particular reason you are changing them? The stock driveshafts are pretty solid…

10.2 incisions work, my old man runs them on his. But I agree wb8-hd’s are solid

Personal preference I guess not a fan of plastic mechanical components and reviews are mixed as for the original drives so I think they'll make great spares but I like the idea of metal drive components and the slight weight it brings to lower the cg a tad

Mip were said to be cream of the crop as per Forums I've been reading but would incisions hold up just as well

MIP's are strong, but they're bulky. I have a set for the bomber I'm building. I run incisions everywhere I can on my crawlers... and that's definitely what I'd recommend for you. I'm using a long ssd for my gladiator length truck (incision is too short), which has held up great.

Stay away from RC4WD driveshafts.
