Needing new drive shafts for the rustler

[Jacks9930]

Has any one tried traxxas steal drive shafts for the Rustler?

I have busted 2 MPI shafts in as many days. Even with the slipper backed off.

What would you run in a 70mph rustler?

I use the MIP CVDs, on my 3S Rusty never broke them. On my 100+MPH Rusty I use the Heavy Duty Plastic shafts from the Slash 4X4 (I think its the fronts? can't remember right off) Using the MMM and the 2200kv on 6S the steel axels will strip the diffs if something goes wrong and they hold up well as long as you keep the kit on the road

I have backed off the slipper to the point that it will not lift the frount end from a stand still. I have been doing lot of jumps and frount flips with.

I lock my slipper for speedruns.

Flips and jumps always break drive train parts.

Turn up your punch control settings and be gentle with the throttle

I do believe the Traxxas stock shafts for the Slash are stronger then the MIP shafts on my Rustler.

I put anther set of MIP's on and they only made a couple of jump before I ran out of parts the fix them. Then I have put a set of Slash shafts on and they are showing no wear. Even after nurmouse flips and 20 foot jumps.

I will not put anther set of MIP's shaft on my Rustler.

when you say "lock your slipper" you tighten it the whole way?

Yes, thats what I mean. For doing speedruns with a 2200kv on 6S you have to or you will smoke your slipper in seconds.
