Will be looking into those. Thanks Joe! ✊️

Thanks for the video. I've been testing the 140a 3665 4000kv version of the hw system in my 3s Infraction and it rips. A couple protek fans help keep temps in check on the motor.

Nice! 👍 what type of speed are you getting?

@@OMGRC I have it geared down 1 tooth from stock for smaller spaces, but it still pulls 50+ mph. With speed gearing it should easily do 70+.

I filled those gaps with clear all purpose silicone. No more wiggles, and keeps the rod in place.

cool rc and great information

Yes the Kyosho aluminum drive shafts are pretty bad when you go brushless, especially on 3s. Thats why a couple of years ago I made my own shafts for my brushless Fazers, I make them from solid 5mm carbon rod with custom aluminum ball couplings bonded onto each end of the carbon drive shaft. Very stiff being carbon rod & no bending.

Where can you purchase the KaniZ center drive shaft ??? Can not find it anywhere !!!

Thanks for the information presenting another option other than Kyosho's aluminum shaft. I installed the Redcat one here as well and will be upgrading to the same Hobbywing brushless combo as well. How fast did you get it on the 2s lipo with the Redcat shaft?

I put info in the description and part number👍

I wonder if turning the punch down and keeping the timing up so you still get all the RPM out of the motor would help keep the driveshaft from bending. It seems that it's that instantaneous application of torque on 3s that's probably bending the driveshaft so I wonder if it coming up on the RPM a little bit slower would negate the driveshaft bending but keeping the motor timing up to still get the high RPM. I worry about that off-center vibration of the driveshaft wearing out bearings on the pinion side of the differential. But anyways like we're your head's at and always enjoy people trying their hand at using parts from different vehicles to fix issues and improve upon their vehicles. Definitely an interesting video and thanks for bringing this issue to light.

I will check into the punch settings and back all the way down in hopes of a smoother run. Will keep working on this project and see what I find. Thank you for your feedback and support 💯👍

That's pretty disappointing that their hop up center shaft, that is designed to handle more power, does not actually handle more power without bending.

You think the short wheelbase driveshaft will survive better?

yes absolutely correct !! short shaft didn't bed on 3s 3800 brushless..need to make a hanger bearing support like arrma 3s

Does that esc fit in the normal version of the chasis?

Not without little modifications

Joe put a wing on the back of that truck will handle the speed better
