Default RE: T-maxx axle carriers and half shafts on a fun factor

hmmm - i was under the impression u were looking at using the hpi mt shaft with the t-maxx stub shaft fitted in the tmaxx hub...

if the cv joint works out ok, then i think thats our best shot, mate. the hpi mt shafts are listed as being 87mm long, now so long as the tmaxx stub shaft is around the same length as the hpi stub, all should fit in there.... in theory.

question is... how much thicker/stronger are the hpi shafts over the cen ones, if anything?

and just to spoil all the fun - the cen shafts i got are the thicker ones, and they look pretty chunky in there to be honest, but the stub shaft still looks a little flimsy. so maybe...here we go again.... the tmaxx stub would work with the cen shaft and tmaxx hub... maybe.

failing all that - the savage front (or was it the rear..?) centre shaft may work with the tmaxx stub shaft and the tmaxx hub carrier. but thats gonna work out a bit pricey, although it would be very strong if it would all fit

if only i had a decent lhs here..... doh.
