Replacement shaft suggestions!

Hey Genki, don't forget to flip your drive shafts around. Make sure that the female side is on the axle. The rocks will eat up the splines on the male side if you don't.

Got it sorted out I think. I used the Traxxas Half Shafts #1951 and replaced the Tamiya plastic Yokes with the Traxxas Hardened steel ones #4628X.
I had to cut the "lip" of the Yoke to get it to fit better but all seems good....

Looks great and works great. Well proven with the TLT-1

hiya folks,

i was just surfing for tips to build my CR01 and came across this forum, whee!

seems like the tamiya splined shafts are a little soft for high torque motors. does anyone think these punisher shafts from rc4wd will work well?

The stock shafts twist even with a stock motor,mine are twisting after 5 minutes of easy going, I would rather have a drive shaft fail then anythin gin the trans or axles , I am gonna try the jato shafts that someone suggested,over the stampede ones and before the emaxx ones.

The jato shafts have a larger hole for the pin in the u-joint,than the stampede,so the metal u-joints are a little sloopy on the jato shafts.

Thanks, I was not gonna use the metal u joints, straight out of the package is cool with me.

I used jato shafts on my son's TLT crawler,It's had alot of abuse,and never had a problem.
