Center driveshaft options... - RC-Monster Forums

Looking at the options I have for center driveshafts. Wanted to use old emaxx driveshafts, as I have plenty...

However the pede tranny and the ax10 axles have 5mm inputs. While the driveshafts have 6mm id...

Are there any yokes that will adapt or fit with some modification?

the original t-maxx tranny has 5mm outputs, just get t-maxx 2.5 transmission output yokes and use them with the sliders and balls you want to use

Thanks Harold, I actually had some of the 5mm id yokes laying around. Now i am that much closer to finishing the crawler.

James there is a guy on RCC that makes a direct replacement for the ax-10 tranny to run maxx shafts.

Hey chip! I am actually using a pede tranny with ax10 axles. I am currently using pede shafts and the metal yokes on the axle end. Std black plastic yokes on the tranny.

It works well and I plan to put some time on it as is. See how long it lasts...

The yokes are nylon, and that nylon won't hold threads of a machine screw very well (with the amount of torque placed on the set screw to keep the yoke on tight enough).

Exactly. I will try the wk gears and pinion shaft if my pede centers do not hold up. The driveshaft angles are not extreme at all, so I think it will be fine. Just like to have options...

Will jato shats fit pede yokes?

MIP makes some splined HD steel monster shafts for the AX10.

They are very heavy and strong, but a bit pricey.

I have not had much success with MIP products. So I try to stay away from them if at all possible. I would also need strange custom lengths, thudertech have a deal with mip and they can provide custom length center shafts. But it would be close to 100 bucks for them, and being cheap I would prefer to make my own!!!
