Picked up a Stampede 4x4!!

Yep, RPM FTW I've watched them flex, and I just know the stock stuff would have crumbled. Not sure about ever getting precise handling out of a Pede, but not knowing where it's going is part of the fun.

I just wish I had all your parts laying around, then maybe I could just throw something together , also.

But I'll be watching your 2wd progress, also. I have a Slash 2wd, with full Jato arms, and rear carriers, so it has the 10x15x4 inner bearing , I run modded Jato driveshafts and can twist them like pretzels.

I will say the mip shiny cvds I have for my 2wd pede have held up very well. Just lost a pin in one last run, I did not have heatshrink on them to save the pin if the setscrew backed out. I made a new pin out of a drill bit shank, ground a flat on it, and used heatshrink around the joint. Should be good to go. Those cvds have seen alot of motor combos, and never run anything mild.

I will say they look a bit weak for a heavy vehicle, say a full al pede or big tires. That is why i plan to use the larger cvds designed for the old maxx. Sure 6mm axles are a bit weak for 1/8 scale, but they should do fine on a 10th 2wd. Mine will likely be built out of cut down lst1 cvds, as i have a bunch.

Now, any idea where I can find a cvd cup with a 5mm hole in it? I have a few but the slotted area is not really deep enough to account for the in and out motion of a wheel cvd, these were for a center drive setup, and the cvds do not move, just rotate.
