How To Custom Drive Shaft

[JAMMER]

Paul are those ends you are using plastics? If they are plastic they won't take any power or weight I have two T Maxx and have steel drive lines in them because the plastic ones won't take the power they come apart. Ed

Ed I have ran the plastic ones and they will hold up just fine if you use the pin instead of the set screw. In that pick them are the black Axail metal ends I run the metal when I build them..

Guys this is super easy to do no need to cobble 2 or 3 stock drive shafts together or one big long one here is another pick of a twin shaft set up I did this weekend.




Thanks for all the great comments guys also..

Great tip! You can also use metric tubing with a stock Tamiya drive shaft to make a longer driveshaft. I did this for my Bud. truck. Works very nice.
