[BI_SRT-4]

What do i need to upgrade my axles and drive shafts and what not.
i snapped the u-joint in the left rear section. right at the rear diff.
do i just need new style t-maxx parts or is there something better?

Need alittle more info .. Is this a new or old style Maxx ? Does it have or are you thinking about putting in a big block conversion ?

sorry its the original t-maxx AKA TRX .15
Its got a OS .18cv-r and all the parts are original exceptthe steering servor and the motor.

Unless I'm wrong I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to the new 3.3 drive shafts all around . They are alot beefier than the stock old shafts . Or you could upgrade to cvd's but then the weak point moves down the line .Now instead of blowing a 7 dollar shaft you might blow a diff or something else . How tight was your slipper clutch set ? Maybe loosening it a bit might take some of the strain off the old shafts .

To use the 3.3 shafts I'm sure the widetrack conversion would be needed since the .15 has the short arms.

i have the slipper set all the way tight cause i want the wheelie's outta this small motor and if i make it slip some it takes for ever to go ne where and slips to much in 2nd.
