thanks for the info,looks like I will be adding to my revo collection of parts soon.
Is there anyway to run steel cvd's with the LT rockers on and the adjustable wheelbase arms? That is my current setup on my sons truck.

traxxas make's extended drive cup's :mdr:

Extend cups are meant for the adjustable wheelbase arms but not with the LT rockers and arms used together.

i think the reason im not haveing the sliders fail is the tekno clutch slips alot, im glad the mip cvd's are working out for you

Just for clarification on this. What was stated above is due to the extended length of the 3.3, so the center CVD's are a different length. However, the driveshafts (diffs to wheels) are the same between the 2.5 and 3.3.
I had two different styles of shafts, one was black and one was shiny, and that wasonly because it was an option when I ordered them. Not because of 2.5 or 3.3. But, I did not order the complete kit, I only purrchased driveshafts. I can't say if thats the case now.

The ones he used above post, in the 3.3 Revo is kit 1665. the shineys are 1600 and are the same. the Revo 2.5 uses I think the number is 1525.. 1665 and 1600 are the same except shiny.

On another note I have just bent my MIP 1600 cvd shafts on a big jump. Any ideas on how to straighten them? I have them in a vise and am heating them currently, will see if it works...I guess this means the shafts are not hardened, just the cups.

The THS and Integy read universals are total crap. broke in 5 minutes.

^^ sorry you are wrong, shiny kit is 2.5 only, according to an MIP representative and the package i bought and had to exchange for the correct one lol

the 3.3 center CVD kit has one shiny and one black shaft.

just to clarify i am talking about the center shaft's only.

That's where the confusion came about. Doo540 asked about "axles", not centers.
