drive shafts
 

anyone know of any that arent the punisher shafts?? i need some that are stronger than the stocks but not strong enough to mess up my trans . thanks :x

Some people using t maxx and the steel yokes, I am using the jato and Jato yokes.

i run steel yokes and ped. drive shafts and i mess up my trans

Im using jato shafts, they are strong but im having problems with them twisting off at the yoke, so i got zip ties around the ears to hold them in place. I want to get the punishers and just TRY to stop getting my rig caught in those positions where it would break stuff, haha will see!!!

Pede shafts with steel yokes"thumbsup"

I had to hack a bit off of them though:-(

I'm keeping an eye open for something like this, too. If/when I get a new motor, I'll probably end up getting something daft, and my stock shafts are already showing a little twist after only 2 weeks!

I'm sure you already know about the 3Racing ones here, but I also remember reading that there are Tamiya ones that are "reinforced" (part #54108 is what I wrote down). I've not been able to find any pictures of those yet, though.

has anyone tried these..

HD Universal Center Drive set (2)

Both of those look interesting. Thanks for linking them.

"thumbsup"

I'm also talking to someone I work with who might be able to help. He builds model steam trains, and apparently does some very nice metalwork, mostly in brass. Brass driveshafts could be...unusual? 8)

I will in about 2 weeks, only able to find them overseas.

yeah i couldnt find those anywhere but hong kong... also if anyone was wondering about these http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-cr0...h=595_744_1158
DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!
i put them on, went down 4 stairs and popped the bottom out of the oil reservoir. so now i have to send them back and wait another week for some thing else. ..

please confirm:

Are you saying the TOPCAD driveshafts, are bad.?


Did you buy some from RCMART.com??



thanks
papa."thumbsup"

I have used those 3racing shocks for a few weeks now and they work perfectly for me. No problems so faar.

interesting
 

Those top cad shafts look good. I might have to give them a try.

"Do not take life too seriously....You will not get out alive!"

I emailed these guys, and they seemed helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, so far as I can tell these shafts are too long for a CR-01. The stock shafts are roughly 60mm contracted, and 90mm extended, so even the shorter thundertech shaft would be too long by almost an inch.

Shame, because they looked like my favourites so far. I like the idea of having shafts that break before anything more serious does.

ok well, i bought a set of traxxis drive sharfts and metal ends to the engine ( i dont know what the actual name is for that specific part lol) and they work great. no more popping off from torque!!! another thing i tried which worked on the stock shafts was i put a small screw threw the u joint looking thing to make it stay shut. no pop offs with the stock ones after that:)

let us know how yo go.

im still uncertian what Erforce52285, was saying about them popping off, and oil leaking.

Erforce52285 - can you confirm

He's saying dont buy the 3racing shocks
