are you getting the set screw on the flat side of the piece that yoke slips onto? im using the traxxas metal yokes wich are simular to ckrc's ones. im using both set screws on mine and i tighten the set screw on the flat side first. dont be afraid to torque it down. you may want to use blue locktite. then i tighten on the other side. but other than that loosing a driveshaft from time to time happens.

Blue lock tight and make sure the set screw is on the flat side. Other than that you might want to contact CKRC or just put the old ones back on.

I bought CKRC upgraded driveshafts and they came in Traxxas packaging so im pretty sure they are exactly the same> All you can do is make sure you have atleast one of the set screws on the flat spot and use threadlock and a good 1.5mm driver to run the screw down tight. i havent lost a single one and have lots and lots of drive time in. If it keeps happening try rotating the yolk until the other set screw lines up with flat spot on output shaft and tighten that one up> May be the threads int he steel yoke are loose allowing the set screw to backout with vibrations...

make sure you have descent tools. If threadlock isnt working, try a little dab of CA glue.

I am still running the stock drive shafts and they have over 100 hrs on them. I know the problem with them sliding off the trans output and diff input shafts. I sorted it by grinding a small indent on the shaft flat where the set/grub screw sits. Problem solved |
