FLM Extended EMaxx Center driveshaft

The one that comes with the chassis is for the rear. The rear takes alot of the punishment and most have upgraded to.

Thanks for the reply...but let me change the question just a bit:

What should I order to upgrade the front-center drive shaft given that I'm about to install the FLM Extended chassis and the Feigo 9L Brushless motor with Quark 80 Brushless controller??

You are most likely going to have thermal issues with the quark 80 its a bit small for your application. Even the 125's have thermal issues unless they are run with heatsinks and or fans.

Thanks for the advice guys... Guess I should have spent the extra money and gotten the Quark 125 and the Feigao 9XL. Well, too late now. I'll have to make do. So far, I added a heat sink to the Feigao motor (went cheap with the standard Traxxas $5 heat sink).

I also took Sqee's advice and changed the gearing to 16/66. I Definitely see a difference with less heat in the motor and less heat on the speed control. :027: BUT the insane speed I was getting with the 18/66 gearing is also gone :019:

Its still better than the original twin titans, and MUCH longer run times using a pair of 7.4V 6000mAH batteries.:018:

Sounds like an all around winner - much more run time - less heat - Good to hear...
