I saw you were asking about the mip axles well I have gone through a lot of axles thats for sure. I blew through the stocks in no time I got a set of traxxas axles and before I knew about buying the larger cups I could not keep them in my eRevo. So I got another set of axles off of flea bay from china made by bestRC they didn't even last through a full set of batts at 6s. So after spending way to much money on axles and not really getting any help I got the MIPs there are a very nice product but I don not think they did much fitment testing on the eRevo. They went together very easy and are a very strong product! The things I do not like about them is the fit on the spindles. Where the shaft goes into the bearing it the shoulder of the shaft doesn't even cover the whole bearing and considering the fact the the bearing isn't very wide I was a little unhappy. I was willing to over look that but when I put on the wheel adapters there was slop in the spindle that would let the shaft slide back and forth to much for me. I ended up shimming it to make them work and to tighten up the play in the front shaft. If you are interested I can take some photos of the issues I am talking about. The bad thing is that these axles set me back around 80 bucks and like you I don't mind paying the money for a well built product I just don't like spending that money on something I have to change to make it work. By the way thanks for all of this info!!! You have helped me so much and have done a ton of leg work that I wont have to do so I thank you.
