Default Stock Losi Driveshaft Pin Fix

Well today I was messing around practicing and one of the pins from the
front driveshafts decided it would part company with the rest of my truck
and fell out.

Luckily I found it, however upon inspecting all the other pins they were all starting to work loose.

Simple fix once all are in place.....


Bit of shrink wrap, yeah it makes the shafts a little more resistant but its worth it to not loose the pins and have to make spares.

very nicely done

is your shock broken or did you do that on purpose to fit a really large spring inside them? i notice my pen springs arent very springy any more

What makes you think its broken? :?

I run one long internal and one small external spring.
Stiffer external springs on the rear to help with TT.

Get a box of springs with about 200 or so in them like I did online,
much better quality and range of choices for your setup than using pen springs.
