The Traxxas 1/16 Driveshaft Set brings solid-steel center CV shafts to the drivetrain so your 1/16 VXL model can handle high power and heavy use. These center driveshafts are made for hobbyists who push speed and want a dependable, low-maintenance replacement that lasts.
This Traxxas 1/16 Driveshaft Set is the direct way to upgrade the vulnerable center pieces in a 1/16 VXL rig. Solid-steel parts and retained cross pins mean fewer failures during hard runs, so you spend more time driving and less time repairing.
Put these on my 1/16 MERV and so far, no problems. They seem to handle the lipo really well and I expect they'll be good for a long time.
I got these for my 1/16 MERV, aware that the o-rings dont last and the pins might fall out. Used the heat shrink tubing trick when putting them in. The metal shafts are way better than the plastic ones!
Great fit and look
Fits well and was easy to put in. Not totally sure if they're better than the stock plastic ones, but I feel better knowing the driveline is metal. Definitely high-quality parts, been working great... no probs.
