Driveshafts

[ToTheMaxx]

Anybody have advice or suggestions as to a driveshaft that will hold up to the power of the 3.3?...and perhaps in the future a .26 picco?

Thanks

errm just a guess..... the 3.3 driveshafts???

 

[ToTheMaxx]

Ya, I'm still running the stock driveshafts

 

[aligc]

on the 3.3 truck or is it the 2.5??

 

[ToTheMaxx]

Yes it's the 3.3 (4909)

 

[aligc]

the driveshafts should be fine then

 

[ToTheMaxx]

Oh ok...well i've noticed that they are wearing around the pins. The pins are staying put, not falling out, just thought I should take care of that problem.

one problem traxxas have with there driveshafts is that they still insist of making them out of plastic!! i blame traxxas for alot of things on my maxx

I recently upgraded to metal driveshafts (part # 5451r) and now I'm having problems with my rear center driveshaft it keeps snaping where the u-joint pins go through the plastic drive shaft. So i say if it aint broke dont fix it

I have a Picco .26 in my T-Maxx and have less than a half gallon through some Revo 3.3 center shafts and the rear is about to go. The Picco is just eating them alive. I figure I will have to upgrade to CVDs in the center too.

I believe that they are made out of T6061 alluminuim. They are really heavy and thick.

Would these solve your problems?
