E-maxx CVD's
 
Does anyone have suggestions for CVD's for E-maxx? I've looked for UE CVD's but I can't find any.

Are the MIP CVD's any good?

sorry... should've mentioned that the link i provided was to a buy/sell/trade part of the UE forum. if you're not already a member there, you'll need a membership to view the b/s/t forums. anyhow, the link i provided was to a guy selling a set of UE 6mm cvds.

MIPs aren't bad. no comparison to UE, but not bad. i don't know much about the traxxas cvds, but i'd look at them if UE isn't an option.

I use the MIPs on my emaxx and they are very very strong. I recently shreaded by diff in the rear and I took apart the CVD think I would see wear, I mean com'on I ruined a diff. Well I looked at the CVD parts and I couldn't even see wear through their black finish. I guess the only down side would be they are steel so they are heavy but indestructible. Good luck.

i had MIPs on the front/rear of my maxx for about a year and i noticed the pin wore the hole larger in the axle portion. a noticeable amount. i'm not hard on my trucks by any means, but it was under brushless (well, novak 6.5) power the whole time. still, i replaced them with UE before any problems could arise.

MIP centers are another story entirely. do NOT get those, under any circumstances. they should be banned. maybe i'll write my congressman about them.

I've looked around and cannot find UE driveshafts.. Are these any good?

I went with the 3.3 shafts and knuckles.
I like them more then the mips.
I sold my UE 8mm to go back 3.3 style. :)

Ninmaxx 10.11.2007 06:54 PM

They'll hold up to a good BL setup?

coolhandcountry 10.11.2007 07:30 PM

Accually they hold up pretty well and cheap to replace. I am running a Quark and neu combo. It does well. They are same shafts that they run in the revos. :)

I use 3.3 shafts with my Neu 1515/1y and so far no problems:

Nah, I've had bad experiences from not buying from a store...

Ninmaxx 10.13.2007 05:29 PM

What do I do for the centers, will they fit without any mods?

mkrusedc 10.13.2007 06:46 PM

I used RC-Monster dogbones. Just tell Mike that you need them for a stock chassis and he will make them the correct length.

If try a 3.3 center shaft you'll need to dremel the chassis like this: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...?t=7909&page=2
