Which drive shafts

[Cycleeric]

Upgrading my Axial based scaler and looking for some advice on the best value for strong driveshafts. What are you running besides the stock Axial shafts? Will the Wraith shafts work and are they worth the money?

im running Junfac drive shafts on my honcho.
love them, had no problems what so ever in about 2 months so far from heavy abuse 3-4 times a week. just make sure you loctite the pins in and your good to go
if you lose a pin they also give you 4 spares "thumbsup"

MIP's all the way "thumbsup"

imho spend the money on either mips or junfacs. i have both and havent had a problem with either brand, but just based on looks and brand loyalty i favor the mips.

I had MIP shafts on my on shafty comp rig a few years back and cant remember having any problems with them other than a loose screw every now and then but nothing a little Loctite couldnt fix

MIP There is nothing better, near impossible to bend or break

 

[rckjeep]

I've run stampede shafts on almost all my rigs and still do. I bought a set of MIP's for my shafty comp rig. Now I run them on my KOH scaler, just make sure to use blue loctite on the set screws and if you pull them off clean the set screw add loctite. My only complaint is the large bell for the joint looks silly. Plus I believe their made in the USA not in china.

I had been running MIP's on my honcho for a while with no problems at all till recently. The set screw came loose and lost a pin (that was with loc tite on there). now i have the stock axial back on there till replacement parts come in. If you go with MIP's i would order the replacement parts bag at the same time so you dont have to worry about it down the road. They are super tough though and wont stop using them.

MIP's built with loc-tite. cant beat em! I run them on 3 of my rigs (scx-10, losi mini, and wraith) and never had any problems.

and IMO wraith stock plastic drive shafts are just as weak as the stock shafts for the scx-10's if not weaker.

MIP is my personal choice. :twisted:I have broken both ends of the axial alum. outdrive on the SCX10.:twisted: I got the RR one piece hardned outdrive now. I also have them in the MRC. If you take your time and out them together you should have no issues.

 

[ah_5500]

MIPs for sure. I've abused these things hard and they haven't failed yet.

and IMO wraith stock plastic drive shafts are just as weak as the stock shafts for the scx-10's if not weaker.

In different ways though. I wouldn't reccomend buying wb8(wraith) driveshafts unless you allready had them. When beef up, they are very durable, to a point. Two female ends with a sleeved male section in the middle works well. Just not with brushless 550 or 4pole on 4s.

So another vote for MIP's.

Mips and lock tight the screws thumbsup"

MIP's have been around longer but they aren't smooth at high angle.
That is where Junfac prevails, I have MIPs on my honcho and Junfacs on my Chevy/Dingo build and I'll Never buy another MIP!!
Unlike Some other people on here I have Actually owned both and I can say from experience Junfacs all the way.
