|  Driveshafts
Well I havent even had the cralwer running a week and I broke a driveshaft. I had the thing upside down and it got in a bind trying to flip back over and there the silver rod goes into the plastic end of the shaft it rip out and broke it. So now I am just 2 wheel drive. What are my options for upgrades? I was just looking at TCS and it looks like they only have one upgrade driveshaft for the axial and it is $42 and out of stock.

Assuming your talking Assial, I did a quick search of "shafts" in that section and this seemed informative: Driveshaft options |

MIP makes a killer replacement driveshaft set as does RC4WD

I have the new MIP drive shafts being shipped to me right now and they look like a good drive shaft for only $40. But I've heard that some people in the ax-10 section that already have theirs are having problems with them binding.:-( Guess i will just wait and see. MIP's are here! EDIT: never mind about the drive shafts! I'm stupid. didn't read well. The others were having problems with the axle shafts. Last edited by MudBoy; 06-14-2008 at 08:13 AM. |

 I have no wheel drive right now - both my shafts broke!  I've tried JB weld, zip ties(to tighten the ears around the yoke), super glue, and as a last resort, even melting the ears together.   But..... all failed so I am stuck waiting for my MIP's to arive. | |

You can try wraping some safety wire around the shaft to help them last longer.  As for shafts you can mod up some Pede shaft for under $2 an axle. Taxxas sells a pro pack with 6 sets for $10.  |

Put Stampede shafts on it. The stock Axial shafts are junk. The yoke spreads way too easy and pops off of the joint.

Just got my MIP's in and on my RTR and they are awesome! All metal and very beefy!  They should defiantly hold up.  There are alot of other choices out there like punisher, maxx, and revo, but the MIP shafts are a very high quality durable drive shaft and at $40 for a set, these are the way to go! easy to instal and put together too. |
