I have MIPs on my 4s rustler and I didn't degrease them first and only used blue lock-tite and they didn't fall apart at all and trust me I gave them a beating and they held up great so I know for a fact you're safe with them! Keep up the great work kev!
I never de-greased mine when new and I used blue loctite. Never had a problem with them coming apart. Just let them sit for a few hours before you run em. The only problem I've noticed with them is when you tighten on the wheels it squeezed the rear carrier (with spacers installed) causing a slight binding problem. However I've figured out if you put two Teflon washers in where the middle spacer goes it helps to get rid on the binding, not 100% but pretty close. The washers are 5x8x0.5, the same ones that go before the cross pin on the stock plastic axle.
They are THE BEST!!!!! You will NEVER EVER have problems with them. I love All your rcs!!
YES! The Slash is on the road back to health! Plus, those Trencher tires are holding up pretty well!
The thumbnail man the thumbnail
You can also wrap the knuckle with heat shrink tubing to prevent the shaft pins from falling out...
Bought these for my 2wd slash. They work great. No problems at all.
You will be completely fine with those shafts I have those on my slash 4x4 and haven’t had a problem for 5 or 6 years and they are still in use today
Put some heatsrink around the cvd joint. If they do come apart it will help keep you from losing the pin.
Can't wait to see how those hold up. 👍👍
What a beast! Looking forward for the UDR and Revo 2.0. Guess you are wating for the spring aswell. Weather is horrible in Sweden.
We hd a day of sun, then snow but all fun!
Make the best of it! Keep up the good work. You are such an inspiration :)
Do a Rustler to Slash conversion for a video. BEST RC CHANNEL ON TH-cam!!
You should do the 17mm hex conversion and run 8th scale buggy tires. Way better for bashing
Just use the HR 17mm kit it is much better than the MIP ones.
Yaaaaaaaasss dailyy dosis of RRRCCCCCC
Great video you are a natural born rc youtuber for sure!!!
Awesome!!another great vid. Keep up the great work
Hey Kevin what if you try putting the grease in and try using shrink tubing over it
Awesome upgrade! Congrats on 60K subs!
FINALLY ! after all this time haha MIP was the first thing I did when I had a slash ,,,,cant wait for the UDR!
Will you get a Stampede 4x4. Keep up the good work 😃
Finnally some love for the traxxas
Thank you for an informative video! Might have to do this down the road.
Great vid kev. Hopefully those mips will stay together for you. Keep bashing......and send it....
Awesome video man. A word of advice with those shafts is if the inside grub screw come out and get lost just find a normal style threaded pin and use it
Awesome this is very heavy duty i run this in 6s no problems
Watching Happy . Thanks For the Video ! Them Shafts look serous
Another great video Kev. Keep it up!
great Macro work! keep the vids coming!
You should put some grease on the splines keeps them from rusting inside there just a thin thin layer
Nice man it was on time😄😂
Those are the only ones that can handle the power of my rustler. They are expensive, but still cheeper than several replacements.
Just a heads up, you don't want to leave them dry because they will rust like crazy and will emit a horrible grinding noise. I thought the same to leave them dry, but it is better to just grease them, especially in the splines.
I agree, the grease is there for a reason. Metal on metal friction is VERY bad. Although i don't know if you need them on the splines. I have a set of these on my Rustler, didn't put grease on the splines, and it seems fine. the splines don't move a whole lot either so it shouldn't be a big deal if those are dry. Either way there definitely needs to be grease in the joints.
NerfCraft For sure, I have these on a slash 4x4 and because I didn't grease the splines, I got water in them and then the car sat for a week. During that week rust accumulated and actually seized the two parts together. Probably don't have to go super heavy, just enough to cover them.
Oh weird, never heard of greasing the splines. Might have to keep an eye out. Thanks for the tip. I guess if you get them wet you should be maintaining them anyway so they don't rust, but yeah I will have to keep an eye out for that.
J3rockon or just dry them if they get wet
Eh, yeah but it would still be better to just grease them properly. Actually just went running my Rustler in some dirt. More of it is actually caught by the differential output next to the tranny box than in the joint on the Driveshafts. Think it's safe to grease it. And really you should be taking them apart to maintain them now and again anyway, because they can get dirty. You do not want to leave them without any maintenance all the time.
Brilliant video Kev keep up the good work
Love your vids kevin👍🏻
Prep is key Kev 👌🖒🖒🖒
I love the wheels on that slash😀
I’ve been running though on my stampede 4x4 for 2 years and they barley warn at all and one tip put heat shrink over the set screws on the diff contention points that’s what I did on mine they work great
THanks buddy I'll do that I'll keep an eye one them if they star backing out i'll do that. :)
You dont have a spare complete shock for the mad force laying around? 😋 need one for my old twin force
Kev, I subscribed caus' I do like your vids + everything to support a grown man being able to stay at home in his pjs' all day
and play with RC toys :)
Extra weight wont be a bad thing on that, i think it will improve things a tiny bit and be more durable. RCs that are too light are prone to flipping, turning over easily, especially with too much power going through them
Hi Kevin. Massive fan of your channel and just about to pull the trigger on a slash platinum from model sport. Would you recommend them as my wife has said I can only have one new rc this year so have to make it count lol. I did have 5 new ones last year so I see where she is coming from lol.
Considering doing a 2wd slash 4s or even a 6s conversion?
how, how do you think that this is possible.
i don't now why 90% of kev's subscribers dosn't now anything rc relateded
you replace the ESC bro
I will not waste my time explaining this to you
You are the tipe of Kid that thinks that traxxas is the best rc manifacture and the xmaxx is the best rc car ever made
no no i dont
Here is a idea Kevin, get the X-Maxx snowmobile conversion kit and see if its worth being interested in cheers!
Seems to me its too slow to really be a functional basher setup
Good work 😊👍
The traxxas slash i hpe it gets more love in future is it for sale?
MIP's aren't indestructible but they are arguably the strongest and last axles you may ever buy.
Hey kev will 4x4 shafts work with my 2wd rustler vlx ?
Good work man!
Hey Kevin my scx10 won’t reverse but it goes forward and it’s a not my transmission because it is brand new do u have any answers
I hated MIP’s on my rustler, they are heavy, and they feel loose and rattle about. Also they don’t work with bushings, so I had to buy bearings on top of the $90 price. I ended up buying $20 integy shafts and I love them
Can the velinion 3500kv motor actually handle 4s safely? I know the esc can't though I was just wondering
You should get an LC RACING 1/14 car. Beastly things and pretty cheap too! I'd love to see you work your magic on it, could be a baby brother for the Hobao lol
Hey Kev that was Quick
Are you going to review the Erevo 2.0?
Your awesome at rc cars and what u do :)
Great job, meant to ask the last video but forgot, where do you get you subscribe stickers from? also why Traxxas only why don't you have other makes?
I just found out you upload your stuff in 4k epic
Have them on my rustler 4x4 they are totally epic
If you want you can put 17m adaptors on there to get bigger tires on
Do you have a link?
He's already having problems destroying the driveline. Last thing he needs is bigger tires to put even more stress on the driveline.
There you go kev I have yet to try them I’m going to do it this summer but mip makes some grate stuff I love them
TestECull actually the worst he will brake and my friends have is stock arms and shock caps the bigger tires will be a little strange on the Motor but the drivelines are sold they can handle 6s
Do you thing a vkar bison is a good car?
Kev when are you going to use your touring cars again
no idea but hopefully soonish
Hi from Russia!
Can't wait till you come out with a monster truck video!! I love your rc videos a lot but it's been a long time since your last monster truck update video
Man they look good
Where did you get the MIPs?
Love your videos I build monster trucks too let me know if you ever need help getting parts from the us
I've broken all my axels several times. I just bought integy and broke them with in ten minutes. I was going to get these but because they are so heavy duty I was scared of overheating issues. Anyone have any problems with the rustler 4x4 vlx?
Hey kev.
I have the same problem and I use 3 different shafts... all broken...
Are they better or are they the same as the other and brake easely?
Love the soft cheese part tray haha.
UDR is at hobby shops. When you will get UDR??? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not in UK, we are looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong here!!! I'l 1st on the list, was told next month now!
Cool video kev 👍
Looking good,I’m doing a overhaul on my slash as well,got the same body the floteck,it’s gonna come out sweet! I think,lol👍👍👊👊📹📹
Does tekno still make some too ?
It’s MIP not “MPI” and you could’ve ordered them on Amazon for $55!!!!!
thanks, fixed it!
Kevin Talbot I like how you respond fast 💨😉😉😉😉😉
You should honestly get a Senton 6s !
Hi Kevin I am a big fan
How are the shafts holding up I'm thinking about getting some. I value your opinion because of the abuse you tend to put your cars through so anything that you say yes or no to I will most likely listen to. Lol
no good for bashing, broke 3 of them in like 2 outings. I run traxxas steel now but will probably upgrade to xo1 shafts soon, theres a video on the traxxas youtube channel.
im looking to run on 6s with no bashing at all what do you think about using mip for that ??
yeh good for that dude, i only broke them jumping
Kevin Talbot thanks KEV.
great vid man LOVE IT!!!, btw that is that song called? I NEED IT !!!
I've heard there good but sure you guys know more about then me
Grate vid kev !! If you run dule can you run 1 3s and one 2s
Heh, now watch the center shaft twist like a pretzel or the diffs pop!
Can you please recommend a petrol or nitro rc car for under £300
Your not going to have any issues because I had these on my slash running 6s on big 2.8 sized trenchers and haven’t had any problems.
What is the name of the song? Love IT!
Make a video about cleaning your rc cars and see how new you can get them to look
Love them
Hi Guys i got me some new driveshafts today and they came with some screw on hexes but now i cant Put the wheel nuts on too tight because Then the wheels wont Spin freely. Has anybody a fix for that?( Btw i have a 2wd Rustler)
Nice video
About the only problem with MIP shafts is the weight as you mentioned when you pick them up so therefore it's going to take care of differential and axle bearings more often or at least put more load on them, I run MIP shafts in most vehicles, other than things that come with Kick-Ass axles like Team Associated stuff
An arrma senton 6s don't need this kind of upgrade. You should get one kevin
Hi Kev.
1.please do more X-Maxx bashing vids
