couldn't tell ya since i run Revo shafts on my driveshafts


if your only locked in the rear and not the front, your gonna cause havok on your driveline( more than locked F&R) been there , done that. once i locked the front, less problems.. but i went to CVD's and haven't had a problem since

Yup I run them on mine, they appear to be a good CVD for the money but not really the strongest. Dont let the goofy mega travel name fool you either as they really dont have any more travel than anything else.

Yea, can you guys explain how you run revo driveshafts in place of the stockers? I didn't think they fit, and would rather spend the money on those rather than shelling out 100 bucks+ for MIP CVD's

I don't have revo's as my axles. I run them as my driveshafts. I have CVD's for my axles.

I really don't see how you would put a revo knuckle on a maxx and keep the a-arms they way there are supposed to be. the revos are just too big to fit in there. but if someone has, please prove me wrong

hey e-maxx crawl, i had the same problem on my truck. so i cut down a piece of female shaft and hooked that up to my diffirential, then glued in a male piece into the end, and connected that to the other piece of the driveshaft and it seems to work very good.... and i did it with some broken parts i had laying around

Default Revo axles on a maxx

Do a seach for "Revo axle" and there's a thread by Jasoninaugusta. I don't know if this link will work. I've seen lots of posts asking about Revo shafts...
