I got a few sets of those couple of weeks ago and they are super strong and light.

I've been beating the piss out of the SDI shafts on my sporty since I built it with no issues! They are great shafts!!

Have you had any trouble with the set screws backing out?

No, I use blue loctite on them and check them regularly, never had a problem with set screws.

I've been running the same one, on the rear of my sporty, for over a year.

Not too many set screw issues, but... Make sure ya give the screw on coupler, the slide pin retainer cup thingy, a dab of blue loc, as well..

I had to finish a comp with a body pin, holding my drive shaft together! Lol..

Same happened to me
I like the shafts but I had 2 sets bend the shaft and flatten the pin that started binding the sliding motion

One thing I use is dry grafite lube for all my joints and cvd
You can get them at auto parts stores or online they are aerosol but dry and leave a film of grafite on the parts and they do not attract dirt
Down fall it's like using spray paint it goes everywhere and is black in color

I'm using the Dravtech front and rear axle housings for the mini. I've got the Wraith rear axle shafts cut to length and the flats are ground on the ends for a nice snug fit into the metal lockers. Ready to button up the rear axle now and move on to the front. .

Rear axle all assembled. I love the design of this rear axle, goes together nicely, is butter smooth when all together and I love this rear weight system! One axle down and one to go!! .

So on to the front axle. I went with Dravtech's knuckle/weight system and Chubs. For front axle shafts I went with Dlux's FBA shafts, bombproof and great steering angle.

I'm using the Traxxas 7079 pinion gear to overdrive the front and picked up some shims to get the gear mesh perfect. FBA axles are cut to length and ends are ground to fit the locker so now I can grease everything up and finish up the front axle. .

Dayum brutha!!! Your killing it!

Time for links and shocks! I cut 10mm off these SCX10 Icon shock bodies and picked up some Losi shafts that are already 35mm long so no need to cut and re-thread shafts. I'm gonna try out some of the Krazed Builds shock pistons that I picked up from Robbob. . .

Tie rod is made and it's a slider, except for the shocks that I'll be assembling tonight. Even with the steering at full tilt left or right, the FBA axles still turn smooth! . . .

One of the coolest little features on this axle is the pocket that is built in to the Dravtech axle housing and Chub which allows you to get every drop of available steering. .

I think I may just have to try that!!!

[blandon]

Shocks are done and the suspension on the truck feels nice and smooth!! The 35mm Losi shafts worked out perfect. . .

Super is where its at!

Cool build for sure.. Dravtech has got some serious stuff on lock!


EDIT: but ya know what at least its something completely different than any other class (IE 2.2s vs 2.2p.... practically the same imo)
