Which shafts MIP or junfac? or ?

[slashbasher]

I need better drive shafts for my crawler. I got it in a bind the other night and the rear shaft popped the u-joint out of the yoke. I need a cheap solution that will hold up. If there is none which shafts would be best? MIP, Junfac, Or what.I am running a slingshot chassis, warrior 45T motor, and a Vanquish dig with the Hurtz shifter. I would like to keep it under $40. Thanks.Bob

Sounds like the Junfacs will be perfect. They are hood shafts just loctite them during assembly.

I'm running a Slingshot with a 35t pro and a dna dig. I have the ss Junfac shafts. Short length front and back and love them. Just make sure you lock tight all of the set screw and you are good. They are nice and narrow. Seem to have more clearance.

Slingshot chassis, VP Hurtz dig, MIP driveshafts with a little grinding, for length fit, compression and extension. I reccomend you to not skimp on durability, I tried to stay away from the MIP's for a while but then spent to much time repairing on course at comps and money towards lesser quality shafts, my rig is getting now closer to be 100% carnage proof!

MIP's all the way! Mine have been put through some nasty stuff and no probs here. Beefy everything!

MIP's all the way, both comp rigs have them and the scaler is getting them!

I installed the Junfac shafts on my stockish AX-10 and while they are nice and shiny, they could stand to be improved, plus they seem to weigh almost double what the stock shafts did. I would like to see double setscrews on both the cross pin and also to hold it to the 5mm shaft. My stock shafts accepted double setscrews, so I think that these should too for the money.

I would reccomend sleeving the cross pin area with two layers of thick wall shrinkwrap to prevent pin ejection. I Red Loctite'd mine and still lost a pin in only a couple of hours. Does anyone know where I could get a couple of replacements? I was thinking about using a section of drill bit, but living in the rust belt I would prefer to keep the setup all stainless.

I have no experience with the MIP setup.

I ran mip's with a 7 turn and 3s. Driveshafts handle it fine .
