Default I break axle yokes and stubs like its my job

I break a yoke or stub shaft every time I go crawling with the e-maxx. I was looking at cvds and it looks like I could get a set of clod axles for the same price. What should I do? opinions?

But then you be stuck with Click the image to open in full size. Clod axles. You'd be going the wrong direction IMHO.

Get the CVD's,build solid axles and you'll be set


CLOD AXLESClick the image to open in full size.

convert it to revo shafts and knuckles, it will make it wider. . i have broken the cheaper cvd's, i forget the brand. x-factor i think. probably same as dynamite.

you want emaxx diff and bulkhead and arms; the axle shafts, knuckles, and outputs from the revo bolt up for a supurbly stout fit.

i had to shave my upper RPM arm for proper clearance.

i had the same problem with my maxx, so i shortened a female end so its a half inch or so long (i never measured, just hacked them off) and glued a piece of male shaft into it, then inserted the oher female shaft, they are stronger than stock, and if you are like me, you prolly have some pieces of shafts laying around to use up



P.S., please, nobody take this like a sick little perv and trying to make a joke out of it, it will just prove you are an idiot

well i am an idiot and can think of a bunch of things, but won't since we need to keep it "tech" related

people also drill out the middle of the plastic axles and shove dowel pins down the middle of them and glue them in place. That way it takes up the hollow space with something solid. I have never tried it, but everyone who has seems to like them and have had no problems
