The only way to get beefier is for the outdrives to get bigger. With the RR gear there is no need to go beefier anyway.

I have always ran two set screws and locktite. No problems with the driveshafts coming loose/outputs stripping. The problem is twisting off the stock alum outputs! Steel ones will solve that! |

+2. I had issues as well, seemingly minutes before it would pop off again, and always at the least opportune time. I have since broken the stockers on my SCX, and upgraded to some MiP's. A little red thread lock (which I can still get off later if I use heat), and I haven't had one come off since. It seemed like the blue wasn't cutting it with the stockers, and running 2 helped for a little bit, but in the end I think that the red is the key. And like I said, you can always use heat ( I. E. a soldering iron with all that plastic around it) to get it off later. | |
