I used T/E maxx drive shafts. but then again i am longer than comp. length

get a set of the tmaxx long half shafts. you can use the stock wk yokes and balls. you'll probably have to cut the shafts a little depending on how stretched you are.

thanks for the help fellas!!!!!!

I am using the REVO shafts. They are big and strong. You will have to dremel out a small bit of the plastic at the end of the universal so it slides all the way down the output shafts. No big deal. They are a 6mm shaft just like the WK. Just cut down to the length that you need. Remember the inner splines are keyed, so they only go together one way if you take them apart to cut them down.

i use Revo shafts as well. you can also use e-savage ones as well, hpi used them for the phase 1 conversion. the info is on one of the sticky threads.

thw wk yolk with the balls from the t maxx shafts as the outer pins on the stock wk balls are smaller and have a lot of play inside t/e maxx shafts makes it a little tighter on the wk yolks bit its better than the slop just my$.02

Here's the Revo's on mine....

kdubb88 · 01-31-2008, 09:42 PM

Here are a couple pics of the REVO shafts in my competition truck.

I am using A RC4WD R2D tranny, so I bought the 5mm to 6mm adapters for the trans. I have tried them on a stock WK trans, they slide right on.

They slide right on to the WK pinion shaft, just need to grind out a bit. The area to grind is where the metal shaft (flat on boths sides) transitions to the round. That point hits right inside of the universal end. Need to take out a few millimeters.

thanks for the pics guys. I was going to go with the maxx shafts untill i seen the pics Im going with the revos for sure. Ill post some pics once finished ,thanks for the help!!!!!

I would use the Revo stile drive shaft from new E-Maxx #3905 then you may not need to cut or dremel the yokes
