Stock driveshaft length?

[Orange Pedeanaut]

Hey guys, just curious if anyone can tell me the stock driveshaft length and if there are any other driveshafts that will fit? I would like to put E-Revo driveshafts on mine if possible.

Mine are about 3 3/4 inches and were pushing in my drive cups so bad they actually flattened the ends and I had to drill new holes in the chassis to move the links back so it wouldnt bind. Also, where can I get a pinion shim for an aftermarket pinion gear? Thanks, Nick

I have a twin that has the revo shafts on it now if you want to do some trading.

Dont have much to trade at the moment Tad, and I sure as heck dont have money right now LOL

Thanks though Maybe if I had cash lying around but if I ask how much ill be tempted.

Thanks moparkid

I don't want to sell the twin. I was offering to trade the sliders to the stock bones and cups.

 

[moparkid88]

no problem. let me know how it works. im going to do the same thing..

Whoo! Won me some parts on ebay and a manual! LOL 32$ for a bunch of parts, including driveshafts, axle tubes, etc. Not bad, I can mark a few things off my list of things to get now

 

[moparkid88]

your lucky! i was going to bid on that stuff but decided not to with 8 mins left...

 

[Orange Pedeanaut]

I would guess there were at least 100$ worth of parts there and I got it for less than 32$ shipped

Also, anyone know the difference between the halfshaft set http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHFY1&P=Z and the driveshaft http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMJG8&P=Z and I know I will need two of these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMJG9&P=Z

Also, would it be cheaper/possible to use Maxx shafts? I really think using the sliders will make the truck run alot smoother. Thanks again, Nick

-Well judging from the site that moparkid posted, it looks like you need the whole driveshaft setup for the universals. Because if you buy just the half shafts, it doesn't come with the universal joint. I think the site that he posted is pretty straightforward and tells u how to do it quite well. You just dont need the end of the shafts that would normally go into the revo tranny is all.
-And aren't the REVO shafts much larger than the MAXX shafts? I think that's the reason a lot of people have been using them, not rly sure on that one just always see revo shafts being used

 

[moparkid88]

i think they are longer.

Thanks for the input, thats what I figured it might be, it comes with the ball and the ends... I cant believe they want 11$ for that thing though lol. I wasnt sure the difference between Maxx/Revo, I know my Pede only has 4? places where the driveshafts grab where the Revo has teeth all the way around. Wasnt sure if the Maxx was like the Pede or the Revo. I have a couple Revo shafts laying here and they are stout, but I would think they would be too long so I would have to cut them down to make em fit.

Thanks again

not going to hurt anything if you cut them down.
