Default Drive Shafts for AX10

Haven't had any problems with them stock ones, just thinking about upgrading them anyway for performance hopefully and for weight.

I see two here:
https://www.tcscrawlers.com/RC4WD-Pu...2-p-16578.html

And a C-drive spline?
https://www.tcscrawlers.com/MIP-C-Dr...1-p-16872.html

What's the difference? Are either of these recommended upgrades? Are there better?

Thanks for any input provided.

I use pede driveshafts and metal yokes. Pretty good. Better than the stockers.

Check out the Maxx shafts. Bombproof and a relatively inexpensive upgrade.

I have stripped the standard ones over and over, and now I have a Punisher shaft on one end and a hilux steel one on the other. Havent managed to strip the hilux one yet. I am upgrading to the MIP ones simply because they are smaller and lighter and I get 2 for less cost then 1 punisher.
But as some have already said the traxx's ones work brilliantly and are a cheap alternative

My only gripe about the MIPs is that they won't work with digs. I'd run'em, but I've got a VF. They should have made the splines longer so I could cut down the shafts.

I'm running the MIP's, and just like the others, I'm going to have an issue with my new dig and I'll have to find some other driveshafts to run in the rear.

Looks like MIPS is the consensus. Thanks for all of your input guys!

I have MIP and like most of their products, they are worth the money. Now as far as dig you will have to modify them to make them work. But it can be done, and I have read they are making some changes...

TCS is out of stock of the MIPS. Are there other good places that carry them?

Thanks.
