Is any one else having proplems keeping the little screw in the driveshafts tite ? I've tried loading it up with locktite after only 10 or 20 min of hard crawling the driveshafts start falling off .:? Anyone using different driveshafts ?

alot of people use traxxas drivelines. i use a front traxxas driveline. cost me line 6 bux. Is it the pin coming out or the whole yoke coming off the pinion?

to use the traxas outputs, just use the .15 traxxas yoke, and stick two big grub screws in each side of the yoke to keep it in place.

Plus my newly beaten up rpm skid plate!!

The grub screw loosens at both ends of driveshaft and then the driveshaft falls off at the diff. That was going to be the next thing I tried . I use them on my wheely king but wanted to see what others were doing before spending $

i didnt have that problem, but then again, i used red thread lock and tightened the SH** out of them!!!

I only run one screw, I make sure I line up the flat real good and then put 3 or 4 good drops of blue locktite down the hole and tighten the screw real good. Its best to let it set up overnight I have to really force them off after setting all night.

what i have done is just make sure that all the screws are covered in it. then i will take it and placed it on the out put shaft... some times you might want to put a little lock tight on the shaft... that will help with the hold.....

This is also what I did and have not had any troubles. I would not
use red locktight on anything. Its just too hard to get back off.

I just ordered a set of Punisher II shafts from RC4WD. From what I measured the 90mm-120mm X 5mm shaft should work. They are pricy (39.95 ea.), but I bet they won't come apart on me all the time!! I'll keep you posted.

Louis · 02-26-2009, 03:56 PM

the short mip ones for the ax10 Dig from thundertech will also fit. Im trying to get my hands on a set for cheap so that they can start selling them for the creeper.
ive been working with the owner of thundertech for like 2 weeks or so now.

I got the punishers in the mail friday and OMG these things are MASSIVE! There is no way these can be broken. They fit like a glove, no mods, just put them in and never have to worry about em!!

I gave em a pretty good workout this weekend and they worked great.
