How To Custom Drive Shaft

[smart racer]

do you have a part # on the K+S Tube, as I ordered tube that was to big and to small...I may end up using a Esky Belt tail boom, thanks - Steve

The tub is a little small.. I have had some the right size and some too small and they were the same part number I just turned the shaft down with my drill and a piece of sand paper and then forced it in and it worked great..

Steve the 1/2" is K+S9413

Tower Hobbies #LXRW80 However it comes in a pack of three and they are 36" long. If you have a LHS they most likely buy from tower and might order it for you and only charge and give ya one.

So i bought some of these drive shafts to modify and i was looking at them and the ends have to flat spots in the i.d of the connector, and my Tamiya input shaft to the axle and the output in the transmission both have just one flat spot for the set screw to seat. So they wont fit together with out being machine to match.. So is that was is required to make these work or did i get sold the wrong shafts from eBay or am i missing something obvious ? Please HELP!

Thanks Jordan

Sorry I did not see your question.. You must of got the wrong ones or some that were made wrong cause any I have ever bought are a perfect fit so to answer your question no there is not machine work you need to do..
