Review on πŸš€ High-Performance Traxxas 6852R Steel Spline Constant Velocity Shafts - Unparalleled Durability for Ultimate Power and Precision by Jason Spainhour

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy! Scrap, broken after the 2nd battery!

DO NOT BUY! All of these 1 star reviews are true. I bought and installed these drive shafts, ignoring all the negative reviews and thinking they were better than the stock plastic shafts used on the 2WD Traxxas Slash. Boy was I wrong. First of all I want to say that I don't berate my Traxxas. I'm "running" with some friends at a racetrack in my backyard. No crazy big jumps, no rocks, just dirt/dirt with small jumps. Installed those cardan shafts and the next day I was on the track. I used 2 batteries (2 cell 5800mAh LIPO) on my Traxxas Slash 2WD (stock brushed motor) and about 10 minutes after installing the 3rd battery my wheel fell off. Upon further inspection, it turned out that my newly purchased driveshaft had sheared off right where the hex pin was installed. Let the photos speak for themselves. Bear in mind that I am using a 12T Titan Brushed motor on a 5800mAh 2 cell lipo and not ranting with my RC. Please heed the warning from me and many others here. DO NOT BUY!

Pros
  • Shiny nickel shafts and black silicone boots add personality
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
