That’s also a good point; the difference in power plant. The electric systems are going to be harder on the drive line than gas or nitro. The reason for this is an electric motor can deliver 100% of its available torque at 0 rpm. Instant full shock load. Where as an internal combustion engine...
This is also a very good point. If you plan on running the highest power for the system, sending it to the moon or trying to break the posted speed limit, the plastic isn’t going to take it. And powdered metal is not the same at tool steel. Pay the money for quality parts; you get what you pay...
I got tired of twisting up my plastic driveshafts in my 3S VXL 2wd slash. So I went to some steel/aluminum ones.
now on my 4wd slash, I knew the stock shafts and center drive shaft (hollow aluminum) would not hold up to the 2.8 tires and VXL6S power system I put on it. So now I have traxxas...
