Red face E-Maxx with Fast Lane arms need CVDs - 09.03.2007, 06:59 AM

I recently upgraded my E-Maxx with alloy Fast Lane arms set and I'm still using the stock U-joint drives. What CVD would work on this?

It's still suppose to fall into the category of the WideMaxx I suppose since it actually made the stance wider, though the Traxxas Steel Driveshafts for Revo/E-Maxx doesn't work.

Anybody can enlighten me on this? Any help is much appreciated.

MIP will work, UE will work,
conversion to 3.3 with sliders will work

many cheap CVDs are bit shorter. UE being longest closely followed by MIP.

Most of the cheaper CVD's (dynamite, rdlogics) are too short. The 3.3 shafts require special turnbuckles and other steering knuckles.

Serum, i figured that out a couple of weeks ago. I used the Traxxas 2.5/3.3 Steel Driveshafts with the Revo knuckles and tie-rods/turnbuckles.

Thank you for pointing that though, in the future I believe many will benefit from this info.

More local and high precision parts made, the better. I'll support that.
