|  Dumb Question
Does anybody know off hand if the new V3 axle shafts will work with the orginal style stub axles?

The V3 have a chamfer on the inside of the cup to allow for the straight shaft. I think the v2 stubs will fit but you won't get all of the steering angle because they will hit the axle. This is just from looking at them, I have not measured or tried to fit the 2 together.

The V3 shaft will technically bolt on however it will hit the inside of the original stub axle at full throw. As mentioned above there is a chamfer inside the new stub axles to allow for max steering angle. There is also a Spring retainer to hold the pins in place. Although an after thought, you do not need the set screw inside the coupler to hold the pin in place. In fact I have found a few that bound up a little with the setscrew installed so if you happen to feel a little binding, just remove them. I'm making a running change that will eventually will not have a hole in the coupler for the set screw. Rich |

I've been running mine w/o the set screw and they have held up fine. I just bought a 2nd set from Horizon the other day for the MOA losi. I think no set screw is good because you are not putting a side pressure on the pin constantly, retainer sping holds the pin in just fine. I've been running mine with Max EPAs and so far no issues at all. |

Thanks guys! I'll make a set of emergency assemblies with the original stubs and new style shafts.
