Drive shafts

Is this a stock replacement or is it for longer suspension?

First is stock wb, second should be longer,"thumbsup"

 

[47willysbuggy]

Ill give em a try then, if not. Oh well:lol:
Edit: It says stock replacement in the desc. so i assume they are stock length.
Nevermind...
What do you reccomend for shafts?

I cut down some Revo Driveshafts to fit the King. They're thicker and just all around bigger....shouldnt break (crossing fingers) Havnt tried them out more than about 10minutes....held up thus far. "thumbsup" BTW: I was sitting at a 12.5" wheelbase, but going for a scale look, shortened her up to about a 11.5" wheelbase...they fit nice.

I used traxxas on mine, cant remember the part# but they worked just fine"thumbsup"

How long is your wheelbase? If you need shafts look at TCSCRAWLERS.COM they have all you need and then some!"thumbsup"
If your wb is close to 12.5 you should get these. I have used them on both my wk's for a while with no breakage. Cut a 1/4 inch off both pieces if wb is 12.5

WB will be around 12.5
So those will connect straight to the WK yokes?

Yep, takes a little work but they snap right on"thumbsup"
For a 12.5 wb take a hacksaw or dremel and cut 1/4 inch off each end that slides together. Or they will be to long and bind under compression. The good thing is you have a lot of surface contact in the shaft and it makes them plenty strong. I am running a 18 turn motor on lipo on one king and is holding up great>

Sounds good then"thumbsup"
Im using the concept that billet works is using with the motor facing the transmission so im excited to get it running.:lol:

those traxxas shafts that rottenbelly posted are what I use. They hold up well to brushless

 

[47willysbuggy]

I might go with a 454 puller so im sure they will hold up
Thanks guys;-)

 

[viper6171]

i was told to use stampede axles they hold up well to crawling

 

[usmckrawler]

i went all out and got punisher shafts from rc4wd and they are bullitt proof along with there longer links and 3 link all bullitt proof but those shaft cant be broke brushless and mad binding from a under cut did nothing but scratch so yeah worth the 40 bones each

 

[MUDRAT]

E savage are also good you just have to open up the uni ends so they will fit over both the g box output shaft an diff pinion i used an old soldering iron be sure to test fit them fist so ya know how much material to take out

 

[devestator_x]

If I extend the wheelbase by 2" overall to 11.5" would I need new shafts?
