3.3 drivetrain for E-Maxx

[Procharged5.0]

They look awesome in the ads. Having the dust boots is a godsend in my opinion. That's the downside to any CVD typically.

When you get the rest of the drivetrain built up enough, it starts over....


not to mention, they wear out very fast. Revo shafts....all the way.

Benifit of Revo shafts...
The large diameter fixes the problems with the original maxx driveshafts, a hollow shaft is stronger than a solid shaft, and plastic is lighter than steel, dust boots, absorbs drivetrain shock, cheap and easy to get, they dont bend if a-arm flexes.

Benifit of Ue shaft
shiny, the UE followers will like you.

Benifit of BranD X CV shaft
whoever likes that brand will like you..

Not always true, much of this depends on what you hit, how you hit, speed, weight, and many other factors. Anything can break no matter what. IMO. I have Revo shafts break as well, not to mention any other part. And again, this all depends on what you hit, how you hit it, speed, weight, etc.....IMO, nothing is "bomb-proof", there are just too many variables to anything. .02

My shafts have hardly any wear after almost a year, but this is MY experience.

Not true. IMO, let's not go there again please.

This is another out take from the Bomb-Proof hates Robin Oury monologue we're all quite tired of.

Sorry Bomb-Proof but I know several of us here are tired of hearing how much you dislike Robin. Bashing him hurts your credibility...at least from my point of view.

Any vendor for that matter from any person. Product reviews are one thing, but bias is another. Just my .02, let's keep the peace is my only point....
I think Revo shafts are good as well as any other. They are cheap to replace, give absorbtion when needed. It's personal preference.

That was a Ue driveshaft.

So when you beef everything else up the breakage doesnt start over? But everything breaks as you say.....everything but UE??
This is how it goes..on an Emaxx
Driveshafts weak-upgrade to UE
Diffs weak- upgrade to 1/8scale
now idler gears are weak- upgrade to UE
1st-2nd gear,drive dog are weak- upgrade to ultrmaxxed
input shaft is weak-custom machine one w/stronger steel
wheel hex weak-upgrade to 23mm

Now....driveshafts break. It starts over.
I agree 100% everything breaks. If you can get something to absorb those stress spikes you can greatly reduce the amount of breakage. Steel doesnt give, it sheers.

I agree 100%, any vendor not just UE. People keep using UE as example, so I am also..I based my tests on UE. UE was the best example of a CVD at the time I was running the E-maxx, the "best you could get" Fill in the blank with any name brand you wish.

not exactly, true I dislike Robin, but has nothing to do with this. If it was RDlogics, I would say the benifit would be people who like RDlogics stuff would like the truck better.

Ok, upgrades are required for BL. Personal preference on what one wants to use.

With all due respect, upgardes come with BL, not because you are upgrading to one or the other, but because it is required by using BL. Revo shafts are good, so is UE, MIP, I'll say I don't really care for RD logics much.

thats a given. But the cycle never stops. Find a way to absorb the power and you wont break as much. Driveshafts are the best place to do this. Revo shafts have a limit, but its high up there....use em if it all possible.

I personally never had this "cycle" problem....my centers, drive shafts, and diffs have yet to fail me...I would agree there are things to do to stop the breakage with BL systems.

Hey, I haven't seen any ads for the new maxx drive shafts...do you have a link to them? Thanks.
