My picco .28 turbo powered revo has been chewing up the driveline piece by piece, I've now got to the point that every single component in the driveline is steel (Hardened 1/8 buggy bell with 4 shoe progressive alloy clutch, RR steel slipper conversion, RR full metal gear set, TRX steel driveshafts, steel CV 1/2 shafts, billet alloy diff cups).
I thought I had finally managed to build a bulletproof driveline - then I snapped the primary shaft in the trans.
Maybe my fault - running big joe tyres with a tight slipper on concrete.
I've got a new trx primary shaft on the way, I'll loosen up the slipper & switch to my badlands tyres for higher traction surfaces - that should reduce the load on the shaft.
But methinks it's just a matter of time before I break another one & they are not the cheapest 'consumable' item.
So, anyone know where I can buy or get made a tool steel primary shaft that'll cop bulk abuse?
