Center driveshaft questions

[MetalMan]

Did you buy the 1/8-to-Revo shaft adapters from Mike? If not, those are MetalMan-made as well . But they are essientially the same thing as what Mike makes.

Unfortunately that center-front driveshaft is so large. If you remove the aluminum steering brace that the driveshaft rubs, you'll see that I cut that down about 1/8". Just wanted to add, that center-front driveshaft on there isn't actually stock, it's one from the wheels that I cut up to fit there, for the increased strength due to its larger diameter.

Vantage makes a set:

It retails for $35.99. You could ask them for the lengths of the driveshafts in the pic, to see if they would fit, or if they have any of a length that would fit the center-front.

Oh, they looked just like the one that Mailman sent me that he got from mike. I also replaced the diff cup as the one on there had some wear on the cup where the rear shaft exits, had alot of side-to-side play. Heres some pics of what I have done so far, still waiting on some 44 tooth hpi spurs to mod, the 46 t mgt spur rubs on the front driveshaft too much for my liking. I also slotted the rear mount holes so that I could move the rear bulk closed and eliminate some of the spacers. I made a new top shaft spacer out of some al tube too. Nice job on those bulkheads, they must have taken a while to make!

Thanks for the tip, I will have a look at those cvds. I may hit up the lhs and see if they can help me out too. My buddy is the manager!!!




Still need to make a skid plate to mount onto those holes you drilled, and maybe make my dirt guards/battery tray mounts out of something else, they are a bit flexible right now in lexan!
