ok, so is anyone else spying out those drive cups and shafts??

[KyLeader7]

well, as many of you know, i havn't really been posting here too much anymore.. other interests have been taking up a considerable ammount of my time (long travel truck...) soo i logged on and whalah! i was searching the pages and realized how much stronger those driveshafts look and how much more articulation you could possibly get...

like i said, ive been away and looked for this already and found nothing so sorry if anyone started this already :X

Adding some pictures will help your discovery:

[trxbeast193]

that is COOL

Looks sweet, it said industry first drive shaft in a drive shaft (lightly paraphrased, lol) so ya, I bet they are gonna be strong, probably not super low mass though.

Could u put those shafts on a new emaxx i am always turning driveshafts into lickrish (a little sarcasm) but still would they fit?

Yes, they are the same shaft just a different joint set up.

Yea I cant wait to get some of those CV shafts on my E-Revo. I have the all steel one right now and they allways break! Their drive cup design was preaty bad...
Finally I can have a constant angular velocity!

[Jeepy211]

That's gonna be huge and will be abble to stand the brushless setup...just need a way to water proof the battery and motor to keep it usable in wet conditions!

[DiFabio42]

Those axles DO look VERY strong. Might have to upgrade on my E-Revo

[brushlessman]

yup, i want some too... wonder when the pre-order button will appear

[MooseDrool]

I worry about that little pin falling out.

nothing a little thread locker won't fix Make sure you have the set screwtight with thread locker added and should be a non issue.

[SnoopMaxx]

A flat spot on the cross pin can prevent the pin falling out

When I was at the iHobby Expo, I believe a Traxxas employee told me the drive shafts were different lengths between the left and right side...

If you loook at the picture LINK, it looks like the driver's side shaft is smaller than the passenger side.......


Just my observation though.

[31794ty]

Why would they do that? And I think it is the way the shadows are hitting the truck, that makes it look like one side is bigger than the other.

Look at the diff ....
it´s to compensate for the diff lock on the drivers side
