| Shaft rubbing issue
OK, looking for a reasonably easy fix for this. I have a stock AX10 chassis, R2J skid with the inboarded lower link mounting and bent Axial lowers in the rear. I moved the axle end of the link to the inside of the inner tab to keep wheelbase on the longer side. Now I get some pretty decent rubbing on the driveshaft, gets better with compression, but at a vertically neutral position, the articulation is bad on that side. Is there a shaft that is narrower, not sure if MIP or someone makes one? Or some way to reorient the link? |

I guess I was just wondering if there were any shaft mods that people used to get around this issue. | |
