Traxxas Cvds fixes that but then you may trash your diffs...

Good thought! I would rather be replacing a shaft that takes less than 5 minutes than the hour required to change out a diff. I have picked up driveshafts on ebay for about $5 each. I went through alot of them on my T-Maxx and Revo 3.3, hitting things doesn't help I was a noob once too

Has anyone tried the Traxxas cvds? I like how they have dust boots on both ends. Less dirt means less wear.

Well I just broke my third stock slider last night. What's weird about this, all 3 broken ones have been on the front. I always thought the rear received the most stress. Hmmmmm............

My setup is:

E Revo:

Monster Mamba ESC
18/52 Mod 1 gearing
Medusa 36-60-2000

All this on just 4S, 5000mah 20C and 7000mah 30C.

I've been thinking about 6S, but I can't do that until I get this problem solved.

Some people have said the Medusa 60mm is too small for a Monster Truck, but I'm not getting that. LOL

Temps are well in hand, and it's snapping sliders.

I like how the THS set looks:

When I upgrade to cvds, I will install my RCM diffs with buggy gears. Then it's just a matter of changing the spur to compensate.

How about these axles?

I have a set on one of my SeuperMaxx trucks with the Revo carriers and they seem to work pretty well. I have not really punished the truck to find out about durability yet, but I would think that they are fairly strong. Just a through.
