Driveshafts for traxxas 2wd cars (CVD, C-CVD differences, which one is better)

[DavidB1126]

Looking at the MIP shafts for my rustler. I got the X-Duty ones on my slash. I do have to grease them up and clean them once in a while. Should I get the MIP X-Duty CVD or the MIP C-CVD? Tekno has their own driveshafts but they need a different hub. I still have the stock driveshafts which have a little bit of play in it where the pins are. Traxxas has their heavy duty plastic ones (Rustler 4x4)

I've got the C-CVDs in one of my Rustys and they work great. The X-D set is overkill on a 2WD Traxxas kit imho

I don't have a particular opinion on either. I'd be curious which you go with and how they hold up. I will point out that the 2nd link is for the nitro rustler which has shorter arms than the e-rustler. You didn't actually say which rustler you have tho so maybe that's correct.

I got the e rustler. Tho they are for the slash too but idk for the e slash or nitro slash. Driveshafts from my slash fit the rustler and same the other way so I don't think it matters. Planning on going with the C-CVD or the traxxas CV shafts. Not worrying about my slash, rustler right now. Just focused on my B74 build. Which reminds me I should start building.

traxxas driveshafts have that sliding action so the difference in length may not matter. But with the CVD the length is more specific
