I broke one of my Hot Bodies HD Mega Travel Drive Shafts today, but it seems that to replace just one, I have to buy another set of four!

Does anyone know what I can do? I broke the threaded part of the shaft where the wheel is attached. I really dont feel like spending 60 bucks replacing one broken drive shaft!

well you could look at it this way also....if you break another, you got 3 more. Eh?

Yea, I was thining about that, but my feelings at the moment are that I dont want to drop 60 dollars just to replace one axle, which seems like a waste.

I've been searching around on the internet, and I was wondering whether I could use these two things to make a HD mega travel drive shaft?

dont get me wrong but it look like you might be able to get away with it...with some afro engineering

sarpiparpi

yea i think itll work

sarpiparpi

are they good? u lik em?

After buying em, other than the 'coolness' factor of them, there is nothing else really special or unique about them over the stock ones that sets it apart. In fact, it can be a big pain in the ass such as in my case. Even though I promised myself I wouldnt do this, I decided shelf my truck, just cause it has gotten too expensive for me to actually take it out, and possibly break it. I dont wanna drop even more money into this.

In the end, I will probably keep the three working Hot Bodies drive shafts, and replace the broken one with the stock HPI ones. Here is a pic of my truck.

from wut i can c u got about $700 plus the truck itself
if i wus u id prolly put a better engine in it and if ur not gonna drive it sell it get a new one and make another one[>:]

sarpiparpi

i meant about $750 plus truck and doesnt those tires make u go slower((but the do look cool))

viperspeed333

Yea, but I was originally gonna get the Wasp .28, but now that I decided not to run it, I will just keep the stock engine in it. No point spending 150 to 200 bucks on an engine im not gonna use.

The whole reason for me not running the truck is that I just cant afford to fix it if things break. Ill stick to trying to sell all my other cars and trucks, keep this one, and work on my RS4 some more.

ok then get like a nova coolin head cuz it doesnt liik rite the whole trucks silver and the coolings head purple
