Are the screws backing out? are you tightening them on the flat spot?

 

[revoracer322]

there not backing out. an ya one of them is on the flat spot.

 

[losicrawler]

hmm thats weird, what drive shafts are you using

 

[revoracer322]

tmaxx. an i never had a problem till i got the dig. its weird. I have had it screw me out of two comps now...

Use some thread lock to help keep them glued in place. Blue is what every one suggests for rc's but it never works for me, so I use red or actual super glue on my stuff.

 

[losicrawler]

but its not the set screw so how would thread lock work,


is the threads stripped out on the driveshafts????

 

[revoracer322]

nope they tighten up fine. there not striped

Try a set of MIP C-Spine Drive Shafts, install them with blue Loctite on all of the set screw threads and forget about them, I have been running them for over a year now and all I do is clean and lube the MIP's once in a while and have had no problems with them..

Obviously their just sliding off, so gluing them on might help, I didnt say anything about the grub screws.

Since you are now running a dig you will need a shorter rear drive shaft so this is actually the set of drive shafts you will want.

Here is 3 places that I found that carrie them but all are out of stock.
