another alternative is the Wild Boar shafts from Axial. I had a set laying around from my wraith, shortened them up and they are holding up fine, theyre designed to handle the torque of a 20 turn motor (kinda) so I figgure they'll be good to go for the drill motor I run in my TF2. much cheaper than MIPs or punishers.........

Why not just run a ring on the plastic part of the joint?

A local guy is running stock wraith driveshafts and they look good. Probably plenty beefy for the small tire trucks.

I bought 2 of the shafts to try on my highlift, thinking they would be decent and twisted both within five minutes if running. Was quite disappointed in them and I was surprised to see them in the tf2.

| Re: replacements for tf2 driveshafts These are a much softer, springy compound plastic compared with the other punisher shafts I've had in my Gelandes etc.

| Re: replacements for tf2 driveshafts Do they make Viagra for driveshafts? I have a set of Axial driveshafts joints and some Traxxas shafts on them for you. Sounds like a good trade for the Pull-Pal you made for me this week |

First run of my tf2 today and in 5min I had destroyed both front and rear drive shafts!! Kinda sucks to spend that much money for a kit and haft to buy parts right out of the gate! Mip's I guess it is.

I ran 2 hours and never popped mine off, but I'm a pretty careful driver and only run 2S.

ironic thing is after he snapped the drive shafts i snap my ankle bringing a spare rig to run for him...but i had fun and those stock drive shafts look like they would break if you look at them wrong and wont even make it outa the box when i get a tf2...mip shafts will be sourced first along with any other weak links to be found. i agree with many on the issues the tf2 has for the money you pay.but then again every new mousetrap has a few quirks to be found in the field while being ran.
