Those are the toughest driveshafts made for Slash 4x4…… when assembled correctly. Thanks Nolan.

I do like how strong they are…I don’t like the lack of a pin hole in the stub axle though

Now after watching the video, I see the included grub screws are long now! Upgraded since I bought mine! 😊

No problem man!

I have the mip’s on my slash and have not broken them but the set screws come loose. I bought some long set screws and drilled the traxxas output shaft holes larger for the set screw to go clear through and no more problems.

I would strongly recommend getting the Traxxas metal axles! Recollectively have broken the MIP! Snap them right at the ball..

The only problem with the mip axle’s are the pins do come out from driving and bashing… I fixed mine by putting clear fingernail polish on both sides of the pins… it’s working great so far..

I put red lock tight on the grub screws holding the pins in place so I’m hopeful they won’t come out 🤞

Good choice. I use these on my 6s slash. I have broken the axle shaft where the wheel mounts twice. But I still think they are the strongest avail.

Thanks for the great vidoes. Im just getting into the rc world. Got a traxxas slash 4x4. Drive shafts are expensive but think be worth it. Just went through a set of the traxxas upgraded plastic ones. Seems like all of them break at the ear of the yokes. Not sure if rocks are hitting them or just the torgue of 3s battery power. Was wondering if you had a vidoe on shock positions. Still trying to figure out best position for a better ride and handling. Thanks again for all your information.

The more leaned down the shocks are the better it will handle so the inner most hole on the shock tower and outermost on the suspension arms…..yeah the plastic gets fatigued and breaks right at the ear of the yokes…..that’s a constant issue with those style of plastic driveshaft

I notice you haven’t upgraded the plastic shock caps. I have seen on many other videos this is a top upgrade. What is your opinion?

I would just brake the end of stud axel off all the time where the wheel bolts on i only use mine for heavy bashin and the mip ones are a heavier axel so i would blow bearings out faster with mips the tekno ones i have yet to brake one yet and i send mine at skatepark only thing that happens with tekno is bone gets a lil bent but who cares they work fine but both are better then the plastic ones!
