Just a general question, I was dissassembling my 4907 yesterday to clean her and install CVD's on my truck. I noticed on the center driveshafts, the larger hole on the yoke was an oval shape instead of round. Has anyone else had this happen with a TRX 3.3 in their T-Maxx?
 
Yes that is normal wear. I would start looking for some new ones of upgrade them. With them wearing like that it is only a matter of time before it snaps on you.
 
I was looking at a set off eBay that are made for the 3.3 with the brake pins already in them. I think they were only 50 bucks. They are designed like the stock placstic ones, but their a bit smaller in diameter. I might have to try them out and see how they work. Trying new and diffrent parts is half the fun.

I have seen those before but never tried them. I know MIP makes a set like them as well. Just a better known brand with a good parts warranty.

I am with both of you I really wanted to try them but $50 is a gamble if they are garbage with no one to call and say WTF?
