Do you think the max tranny yokes will connect to jato shafts, i know you are using max shafts, but I've got a bunch of jato shafts. Right now I have the metal yokes on the tranny and villain yokes on the axles but I have a feeling the villain yokes aren't gonna last too long.

The Villain was a boat that traxxas use to make, maybe the still do. They have metal bases that are pressed into the plastic yokes. I thought they might work a little better than the pede stuff but they seem to be kind of brittle. I guess I need to get some more metal yokes or the jato specific ones.

If you run Jato shafts, just run the jato yokes, I have yet to break one or have one pop out, and I've broken several CVD's since I've been running them.

Sorry for the hijac Brad! The Jato's are timed 180 degree's, so the yokes always match up. I don't know how these guys would run dig like that, i don't run dig anyway. I'll be getting some Jato yokes shortly, just incase these Villains crap out early.

They are splined for 180*, just like pede or maxx ones, with 2 of the male splines being a little shorter than the rest. Taking a file to the other splines to knock them down a bit is how I got mine to engage at every point, and there are 8 splines so it only takes 1/8th of a turn. The best way would be to make the 2 female splines deeper, but I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I wasn't happy with how mine worked(it would get hung up sometimes and not disengage in a bind) and as I'm not very patient when it comes to fabbing stuff, I switched to an R2d2 yesterday. Works like a dream now, but the drawback was adding a servo to the chassis.

I never ran dig until after I got back from the Axial comp, and my attempt to fab mine was quick, and it worked good at first, but slowly started being unconsistent. If a guy spent some time, and figured out a way to deepen the female splines, I think the Jato's would be the ticket. Also, knowing/being around those who have run dig for a long time like Miniwheeler and Warpig(which I hadn't until this spring/summer)would have helped me, as their stuff just works every single time, flawlessly.

I was lucky enough to recieve one of the first new Grappler rock crawler bodies from Losi. I've got a little run time on it, and so far I like it. Very light and narrow, which is great for a comp body. |
