I had the telescoping shafts and swapped the rears for MIP CVD's and the centers for UE dog bones.
Now it seems like I am running on half the power. Very little to no torque like it used and not sure why. I am running stock motors and feels like maybe they are bad or something. I will be switching to brushless soon - but still want to figure out what is wrong.
BTW - I am using the Intellect 3800's for my batteries. I am running 12 cells.
Thanks.....

umm sounds like somethings binding or rubbing against something... turn the truck off then move the servo to the transmition till its in nuetral and try to spin the tires,,, if it doesnt move freely therse somthing rong with the new drive shafts..

I did put it in nutreal today and no binding at all. I am thinking it is either my new batteries or my stock motors. I am going to try my GP3300's again and see if it makes a difference.

I mounted a new motor - just trying to figure out how to mount the ESC. No room on the stock chassis for it. I think it was either my motors or batteries. All the drive train looks and seems perfect. So one I figure out where to mount the ESC I will know for sure. Just wish I had a nice clean area on the stock chassis to put this thing.

Definately not my drive train. Put the new motor and ESC and it is fine. The stock motors somehow lost their punch even though I have not ran them but maybe a dozen or so times.

I was looking at that but not enough room. The BK-Warrior ESC's are very long. I can do that on my bandit but not the EMaxx. The shocks get in the way.
