Traxxas Slash 2wd Upgraded STEEL DRIVESHAFTS ~ 2 YEAR REVIEW

[@RileyBanksWho]

Man, other people seem to have a lot of luck with these. I bought a $50 hardened steel driveshaft (rear) kit for the Slash 4x4. I ran it on 3s for the first time today, and literally within the first 15 seconds, the pin bent and came out. Literally, every driveshaft kit I buy comes with this problem. The same thing happens on my WLToys 124019 when I run it on 3s. I guess these are just not made for brushless systems. It's a bummer because I bought a 4x4 Ultimate for a reason.

@@RileyBanksWho yeah the retainer and pin coming out is a common issue on a lot of aftermarket driveshafts

[@gamercat7004]

I bought rcawd driveshaft for my 2wd slash and i was speed running on my street and wasn't going too hard and it wasn't moving no more and the wheels were spinning freely only lasted about 2 or 3 battery packs.

[@RCKnockout]

@@gamercat7004 that’s a bummer…they definitely should last longer than that

[@gamercat7004]

@RCKnockout I realized the pin was gone like the thin wire on the end might have opened up and lost the pin. It's not broken, good thing too. I ended up purchasing MIP driveshafts for my 2wd slash.

[@RCKnockout]

@@gamercat7004 yeah that’s usually what happens…the MiP driveshafts are definitely a good purchase though

[@gamercat7004]

@RCKnockout yea, hopefully, and I'll try to insulate the shafts so the pins will not fall out

[@RCKnockout]

@@gamercat7004 yeah you almost have to do something to prevent the pins from falling out

I enjoyed your video I was wondering when are you going to do some more stuff on 1/5 buggies 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you liked it! I’ll probably get them out in the snow with paddle tires at some point 👍😉

[@brothertax]

Amazing how long those have lasted.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah there a good set of driveshafts for a reasonable price

[@aljabri-yg3is]

When are you going to the sand dunes?

[@RCKnockout]

I’d like to get back to the dunes….but it’s winter now, so it’ll be a little while

[@mikegent2676]

MIP Has doubled in price in the last few years. They were affordable at one time

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah unfortunately the MIP driveshafts are just too expensive for most people…they’re good but that’s a huge investment

[@JackplaysGD]

Hey quick question, I have a Slash 2wd drive and plan to do the monster slash upgrade. But for the wheels can I use those in the streets?

[@RCKnockout]

You’re asking if you can use the bigger tires on the street?

[@JackplaysGD]

@@RCKnockout Yes

[@RCKnockout]

@@JackplaysGD it’ll wear them down fast….otherwise it’ll be fine

[@JackplaysGD]

@@RCKnockout ok thank you :) I was only asking that because I don't have like a dirt road by me and only roads but also are they good in snow too?

[@RCKnockout]

@@JackplaysGD no worries….if you’re asking about the driveshafts…they’ll work fine on any terrain

[@Danny.trx4sprt]

How has the transmission held up

[@RCKnockout]

I run the 272r trans…stock trans didn’t hold up well
