Went to another local hobby shop near me and picked up the MIP driveshafts. I just installed them today. They look good. I have a question about the pins. I thought that there was going to be something to cover the pins to stop them to fall out. But there was nothing to cover the pins. And when I was installing them the pins moved a little and hopefully they don't fall out when driving. I also installed new bearings, new RPM rear hubs and RPM front and rear shock tower. Now I just need a whole new set of shocks and then it my slash will be on the road again. For the rustler I also need new shocks and a new servo horn then that will be on the road again.

Looking good. If it were me, I would heat shrink it. Heat shrink is a rubber tube, avaliable in various sizes, that shrinks diameter when heated. Its used in electronics.

I would also get new pins to have as a spare.
