Default widemaxx front cvd's?

hey guys i have been burning through stock front driveshafts in my maxx. its the 2.5 chassis but it has the integy aluminum widemaxx arms..it stands like a 3.3 maxx would stock. anyways...i found these online and i was wondering if they were for the front and was wondering whether or not they would fit the front. if not...could you point me in the right direction? i know mip make's nice ones but they are soo $$ and i believe these are proline.

this is my truck.... and these are the CVD's i wanna but for the front . . . .

I installed the THS shafts in my Revo. They are very easy to do. There should be a screw pin holding the smaller of the 2 pieces on the diff so you don't take the diff out if it's the same as the Revo. It's very simple to do. Go to Tower Hobbies web sight and you might find the ones you need for your truck and atleast get the manufactures part number if you want to buy them somewhere else.

MIP are pricey yes. But you definetly get what you pay for in this case.I have 2 T- maxx's the 2.5 and the Original Pro .15. I have complete MIP sets even the centers in both trucks and I have not had any problems. Which ever brand you get, be sure to blue loctite all the grub screws. Nothing is worse than being out running and loosing one of those lil dudes

and where the heck do you look for it? I have never had it happen to me yet. Hope fully l never will. Atleast getting a replacement is easy. But there is still down time which is depressing. Especially with winter right around the corner

well i ordered them..i sure hope that they will fit. i did some reading around and the length sounds right...but the auction also said it was from proline mip and on some websites it said that you had to have the proline suspension setup for the part to fit. the guy has sold like 42,000 things at 99% feedback so i could probably just get my money back.

Indeed, I would be interested to know as well because I may eventually wanna upgrade the ones on my revo to something a little better; in which case I have been considering getting the traxxas cvd's for both front and back. but before I do I probably should find out if there are any better aftermarket brands out there that Im not possibly aware of.....
