Electrix Ruckus Drive Shaft
Does anyone know if these fit the Ruckus?

If not what are some good one to replace the stock shafts with? They keep twisting and breaking.
Thanks

What kinda horsepower are you running in this thing? The Electrix driveshafts seem tougher than the ones that come in the Rustler/Bandit/Stampede/Slash.

If stampede/rustler shafts do fit your ruckus you should get some MIP CVDs. They're a little more expensive than the integys, but much better quality. I own several sets of Their CVDs and love them, very strong and well made.

RE: Electrix Ruckus Drive Shaft
I can guarantee you that if you fix the breaking shafts issue and put in stronger driveshafts, you are gonna shred the transmission in the Ruckus with that ESC/motor setup. Your gearbox has been spared so far because the driveshafts give out first. I believe Electrix has metal gears to upgrade the Ruckus' tranny.......I could be wrong though. Most people I know buy the Circuit, Boost or Ruckus to get their toes wet in RC, then go to higher class of vehicle after they "outgrow" their Electrix vehicles. That's how I would go, but that's just me.

Uh, Integy? Not sure how long that parade will last...
The Traxxas Rustler VXL driveshafts fit right on to the Ruckus, and if they do, so do the Slash 4x4 shafts. But I don't know if the 4x4's are long enough to stay strong.
Here's a thread about how to make them fit:
