Luck with pede shafts....huh?

[Hildy]

I have seen a whole lot of guys running Axial or Traxxas steel yokes with the Pede shafts.

Here is what I find to be hard to believe. Alot of the people using this driveshaft setup are running HIGH powered motors/batteries and having GREAT luck..

I can tell you now that I tried a few of these shafts with both Axial AND Traxxas steel yokes and have yet to get one that doesn't pop off or twist beyond its telescoping ability. Funny thing is...I was only running a 7 cell battery with a 55t Integy on stock Axial gearing at that time.

So when I hear of guys running a 7t Puller on 3-cell lipo using Pede shafts, I wonder how they are getting them to hold up. I know of the driveshaft rings...but to me this is just another piece to get hung up. And ya still have to worry about twisting them.

I've since upgraded to large Revo rear/Maxx front and have not looked back. I couldn't imagine using those weak Pede/Jato shafts again.

The ring helps the popping off and if your running high power a lot of people use two female shafts and a male floating in between. It is damn near bulletproof

I don't have any pictures because I am no longer using the Pede shafts. I switched to large Revo rear/Maxx front.

But when I was running them, the rear one had to be lengthened so I used 2 female shafts with a male connecting them.
