WK axles w/axial tranny

[hntz4x4]

I am rebuilding my WK using an Axial chasis and tranny. How should I get the drivelines to mate? My WK was already stretched so I have the Traxxas 4951 drivelines with the stock yokes. Someone told me I needed the Traxxas 4628x yokes for this tranny so I bought them. But they are much smaller than then the drivelines. Any advice would be appreciated.

Not just looking for the cheapest solution, but the best/strongest solution.

Thanks,
Ryan

They make output shaft adaptors to fit the axial trans that bush up to the WK axle output size.

you can change the pinion/ring to http://www.rcplanet.com/HPI_Heavy_Du...p/hpi86336.htm the pinion shaft are 5mm

PN 4927X is the trans output from the Maxx. It fits a 6mm shaft. You can use it on the WK axle end of the driveshaft and I BELIEVE the 4928X is the Maxx axle shaft yoke that fits a 5mm shaft...which you could use at the Axial trans end. These two yokes are the same size and fit the 4951X & 4949X half shafts...they just fit the two different output shaft sizes.

thanks for the advise. I ordered the 5mm to 6mm adapters fron TCS. Hopefully I can get this thing back together by Memorial Day.

Just be aware that the stock axial spur gear will hit the e-maxx sized yokes. I would either switch your pinion to a 5mm shaft. Or get 6mm extended outputs for the axial transmission.

Could also do this.....(but it sounded like he wanted a more simplified install)



This gives you the smallest yoke at the trans end to run a larger spur...but has the bigger yoke at the other end for the axle. This is the one I used on my Black Widow build before I went to the CDW 6mm extended output.

Well I also had a set of 1951 drivelines that have the smaller ends to fit the 4628x yokes. But the splines (for lack of a better term) on 2 sides were to narrow. I spent some time with an exacto knife and a file and widened the splines. So now this is what I have and seems to work pretty good:

From tranny output = 4628x metal yoke, then the male half of a 1951 Traxxas driveline, slipped into the female half of a 4951 Traxxas driveline, then the stock WK yoke at the pinion shaft.
