Well I found this info on another forum but decided to post it here to as there are a bunch of tnx's on here.
this mod will remove the stock plastic drive lines and replace them with metal universal axles, they weigh less and are alot stronger.
a little modifaction is requird, but nothing a dremel cant handle.
This is what you need.

I also put on the hpi rs4 header and mgt pipe.




Take a file and flaten the top of the dogbone, this keeps it from binding in the cup



you can see where i rounded the inner part of the knuckle, it actually gives you more stearing travel

stock hpi rs4 header before porting




Enjoy.

You did also port the header gasket right?

crusher03

actually i ported the header to the max hole of the gasket. so I should need to. the gaskets the same size as the exghuast opening on the engine.

Those links should work.

Thats some nice upgrading you did. Let us know how they hold up. I just broke my plastic driveline yesterday, if it breaks again I will also be trying this.

Anyone have any durability reports on this mod?

crusher03

OK, my advice for this mod is DONT. the stupid duracrap parts are weaker than the stock plastic. I have gone threw three of them and all of them fail at the u-joint. right now im working on making it so you can use the tnx ujoint pins instead of the pressed in duratrax pins. Ill get some pics up and show u what im talking about. if the pins didn fail, this things are great.

Hold off for now, Ill figure something out and post back

crusher03

oww, forgot to mention. I have called mip on several occasions. they say that its on there agenda in the next month or two to make aluminum cvds for the tnx. about time so if you can hold out for a little longer a much better hopup will be available
