Thanks , Pro

I would like to try the sliperential, but I also heard about problems with the front end..? I forget the details. I started with this setup because I wante to see if I could get some Drift action from it.

You think I could still get some Drift action from it with a Sliper ential ?

PS Very nice list of cars you have there.

back when I ran my revo alot more than I do now I tried everything to find drive shafts that would hold up. In the end I would up just going back to the stock plastic sliders. They hold up and dont really break per say, but they do wear out and start to stretch at the joints. It kind of just became a wear item that I replaced every so often when I saw them starting to stretch at the joints. If you keep you eye on ebay you can pick up complete sets of the stock slider shafts and axles for cheap. I basically just kept my eyes peeled, grabbed them when I could get a good deal and just kept a set in the pit box all the time.

Believe me... I tried a bunch of other "harder" axles and they didn't really hold up any better in the long run. Just more expensive and more bling than the stock shafts.

Thanks Jh

For the most part I agree. it's a tough call, metal is going to wear and get slop but plastic can break.

I put a zip tie around the shaft to keep it from rotating inside of what is left of the outside slider. until I can pick up a replacement.

gonna look into the sliperential,

It most likely broke on impact, a section of it cracked off and gone.

I cant afford a Sliperential right now, hopefully someday

THE Traxxas Summit shafts are thicker plastic and use Metal CV joints.

can cost $50. though




? ? ? Are CV's stronger or hold better than Universals ? ?

Definitely go with the Summit shafts they should hold up for sure.
