Need new Drive Shafts !!
Just twisted the rear right drive shaft apart. I have a .18 O.S. cv-rx and i thnk the deciding factor was the pair of zombie-maxx tires that have just to much grip on grass. So i need to upgrade...ill try to post a pic of it...kinda proud to finally break something because of to much power...

RE: Need new Drive Shafts !!
are you running the stock pro .15 style shafts? if so, the newer 2.5 style shafs will bolt right on and are quite a bit stronger, have you converted to widemaxx style suspension? if so, that's part of your problem if you didn't upgrade shafts...
I have the CVrx also, have about a half gallon through it and it's pretty powerful compared to the old pro .15, i haven't broken anything yet though, other than a shock tower...

I recommend MIP CVD's. The 3.3 driveshafts are cool too, but you have to replace the bearings and the axle carriers, which puts you at the same price. Go with steel, get CVD's.

I broke/lost my rear center driveshaft yesterday and im leaning towards getting Traxxas Steel Center Driveshafts. Are they a good buy??
