I have not had any issues with these I have pulled my dump trailer all over loaded and have not had one issue with strength..

The hanger bearing you see is a F350 steering block that is bolted to the frame..

That's a good question, I've found some call it different things?

, but they've been out for a while.

They're expensive for me, because of shipping to the US

I've checked RC4wd, Towerhobbies, and more, I can't find them. I'm looking for some in the states also.. :D

Thanks

EDIT:

That's awesome, I've got 2 sitting on my desk infront of me, I read it, and Had a DUH moment... :D

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

Yeah same here. I found one on another site that was a little different but can not find it now.

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

Just an update on people looking for the drive shaft bearing support , I got some from here
http://www.toyscube.com/shop/mier-11...ck-p-7712.html
I got 2 shipped to me for $26, took 11 days, I am not endorsing them, just giving guys some options

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

I think that is the same one RC4WD is selling as well.
http://store.rc4wd.com/T2-Disruptor-...e-_p_2301.html
But the Toys Cube price is $10 and RC4WD is $59.99.:eek: Makes you wander just how much of RC4WD's stuff is someone else's just renamed. I know they sell other manufacturers stuff but it is usually under that manufacturers name not RC4WD.

I seen that, and saw the price, no way on their prices, off the top the rccube one uses m2 hold down bolts, rc4wd one uses m3.I'll get the dimensions later .

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

The are 2 different blocks but RC 4 WD is out of there minds on the price of there's.

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

Yep we figured that out but it is funny as to how similar they are.:rolleyes:

Russisloud here on the forum makes some and they are made to match his cross members.

There the only way to go Sharkey. Mine work great as well.

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

So are you guys drilling a hole thru the steel shaft and using a traxxas pin instead of a set screw? I just cant picture a plastic driveshaft yoke being strong enough to tighten a set screw against the flat on the steel shaft, steel shaft being the pinion bearing or transmission output.

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

Take a close look at the shafts in the photo they are built based on the info in this thread the universals are traxas steel with a set screw.

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

Oh I gotcha you used steel yokes instead of the stock plastic ones. Looks good

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

Yes you can buy the shafts separate from the yokes. I'll have to look the P/N's up when I get home and post them.

Re: How To Custom Drive Shaft
 

THANKS for an excellent idea to a cheaper alternative!
