|  3racing drive shafts
curious if anyone has tried these out, i am only going to be running a 35t motor max, and was wondering what people thought of them. i have used 3racing items in my TT-01 and been generally happy, (you get what you pay for) they are considerably less expensive than the tamiya ones and the junfac ones.

Mate, I blew a front drive shaft within 40minutes of running. The pressed-in pin fell out and was lost, as was the square uni. I'm now running GPM shafts and haven't had an issue. They are slightly heavier, but so what, weight and low COG is good, right? |

Those are drive shafts not axles. I have not used them, but you should get more replies if you change your thread title.

I bought Traxxas shafts from the local hobby shop & shortened them. Cheap and effective, but now im breaking axle parts instead  |

Re lead wheel weights, go to a tyre shop and get a few sticks of mag wheel weights. They cost me a buck each. They are a self adhesive flat weight, you just gotta trim them a bit to fit inside the wheels of the 2.2's. |

go to napa and ask for a box. usually, you can get a box of 30 sticks holding 3oz of weight each. the design varies. I have some that are flat with a larger length/width, and some that are thick with a narrow length/width.  |
