Default Which shafts?

Ok I did a search in the tips thread and was directed to either Pede shafts or Emax shafts. I was in the nearest hobbytown today and they only had some Jato shafts.

I am using a locked Pede trans and either a 55 or 65 motor. I ordered the 4628X yolks to go on the transmission.

Wheel base will not be more then 12.5.

Pede shafts work fine. I prefer the Max for there extra stoutness.

Don't know if you know, But if you go with maxx shafts the biggest spur you can use is 84t but with pede shafts you can use a 87t spur.

Well since I like stout I will go with the max shafts then. Have to call them tomorrow and let them know as they are ordering some links for me anyway.

the maxx shafts require a little dremel carressing, and you will also need to drill the pinion for the set pin on the axle
also you will need these yokes for both tranny and axle

Well that will not be a problem. I am actually used to making adjustments to stuff to make them work.
