shell out for the punishers, or go stampede?

[dreadshawn]

Hey y'all,
I just finished up building my TLT tuber, and I am currently running Revo shafts front and rear with a stampede tranny; and while they worked fairly well for the most part, they are starting to pop off the axle pinion more frequently than ever.. and I am looking for something with more grip. It seems that my choices are down to the RC4WD Punishers, the Stampede halfshafts, or perhaps the Jato shafts.

My rig is a bit on the long side, measuring out a wheelbase of about 13.75", so I have plans in the works to build another tube chassis and make a shorter wheelbase rig (around 11.5 to 12"), so the expense of the Punishers would NOT be a good way to go?? If that is the case, would it be better to use the tried-and-true Stampedes, or move to the newer Jato?

What do you think?

drill a hole through your pinion and run pede steel yokes with the long grub screw, they will never come off then.

X2.

Punishers are sort of a waste of money. you can buy alot of pede shafts for the price of them.

Hopped into the LHS for some stampede sliders today; just my luck they were out. I found out that they do have some coming in later in the week and decided to burn a few bucks fabbing up some maxx shafts instead. As luck would have it (and probably of no surprise to you guys), one pack of long halfshafts fit up perfectly. Thanks for the help!
