Driveshafts for a double dare would be easier to make than the usa-1. A stampede wheel shaft will fit into a double dare steering block with a slight bit of dremeling. So then all you would have to do is make the outdrives and the drive shaft itself shorter. Il take a pic of the steering block for you.

if thats the case can you just get 2 front DD steering blocks and two rear carriers and ditch the usa-1 unit?

Man, geez the last time I posted in this thread was 2011.... We're has the time gone. Anyways it looks like I never mentioned if the driveshafts actually worked, and they did. I only made a set for the rear of the truck but they worked great. I wish I had more info or pics, but I've lost the old pics of the truck. Unfortunately I sold that truck a very long time ago as we'll. However there's a very good chance il be recreating those driveshaft this year and maybe even improve on them, if I can. I really want to build another modified A-1 and these driveshafts will be key to it.

Hello, thanks for the reply, the conversion is the essential Key for going brushless...
I started to make this kind of drive shafts. For that I bouhgt used traxxas dirive shafts which one of them I cut into length ... But I am really not satisfied if I should move forward and destroy a drive hub or not. The shafts seems to be a little bit to short at all.
A month ago I was on the hunt for more information and for this conversion..but in the meen time I bought HPI Savage Flux...now lost my focus on this Mod, also lost intresst for going brusshless on my Brute.
I read also about the idea to use Tamiya grashopper parts....but no futher information about this.
I will try to share share some photos

For the last time, Your oven isn't a closet!
Seriously though, how did that happen? I have all sorts of old tires and none of them have ever melted. Most don't even have cracks.
Maybe because were i live its almost never really that hot?

Gonna try these for my usa-1.
Though they are only 4mm in closest to the car. Perhaps they will end up like corkscrews

They are rear axles for an Axial ax10 I think. Not original though. I just cut them of to get the right length. They fit almost perfect in the hubs, 5.1 mm in diameter so I had to grind a bit to make them fit.
