Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll look into building new ones out of better material.

Well I got my parts in for that wraith uni mod. The short side mocked up everything moves freely. The short shaft is a little short but engages good enough for a test fit. I will build up the tangs/ tang area with weld then remaching for proper engagement. I'm pretty sure they will work and hold up.
There is a little side to side slop but less than the xr axles.

awesome. Parts list? Bearings etc?...
What size bearings are needed? Was it just as simple as that?

So far it really was that easy. The welding and remachining will be a little more involved but not much."thumbsup"
One of each on each side.

Haha!I saw your cvd.:mrgreen:
It's getting comical at this point.Did you need more steering angle than stock?I think is useless if you have 70* shafts and you can't use it.

Running 90% of a 70* shaft is always better than running 100% of a 50* shaft. Besides, universals are superior in every way to cvds.

And bingo was his name O!
Only one way to find out.
If the universals work for Hoppa will be the ticket.Welding the shaft to make it longer seems difficult to me.
I hope rc4wd bring some universals upgrade for B2!

He is welding the tangs to make the diameter bigger to fit the B2 locker, I only hope the heat doesn't weaken them.
I might have to look at my Ofna Dlux uni's when I get home to see if those could work."thumbsup"
That was a concern of mine as well. I welded a booger on the end of and old bent xr uni. The welder was set way to hot so I backed it off a little to get it dialed in. After it cooled I put it in the vise and twisted it and here's where it broke. They should hold up. I'm hoping to get them tig welded at work.

Or a modified locker with a smaller shaft socket to accept the smaller wraith shafts...may be cheaper in the long run to machine...or what about a Ti sleeve to offset between the shaft and the locker?
Nice work on sizing them up though...

I think that a little weld is the ticket. I have a lathe and mill and a welder so no biggie for me. Might not be so easy for others. The alternatives that you mentioned seem like way too much work to me.
Thanks

I was thinking more from RC4WD's end not ours...have you measured the differences between the locker pocket and the shaft tang to see what the tolerance is...
I checked the Dlux Ofna shafts and the tang is still not thick enough to just grind down to make fit but is thicker than the Axial shafts, also its to thick at the uni end to seat into the tube.
