I usually take off the bearing carrier, put the shaft in and snap the hex back on. Then I install the bearing carrier and attach the drive shaft to the diff.
Haven't thought if it before but next time I'll just put two of those blue wheel inserts/spacers on and tighten the nut till the hex snaps in place.
Kudos for getting the grub screws out. I always take the arms off.
Thanks! Good tips!
To snap your hex back i have 2 tips.
First is use a hollow 17 wheel hex wrench to push the hex in while holding the back.
Second install the wheel making sure the hex is aligned with the pin and hold the back as you tighten the wheel nut, if everything is aligned it’ll just snap in as you tighten the wheel nut.
Alright! Thanks for the tip! 😉
You have to remove your bumper to get a better angle at your grub screws! Also to snap your hex bolt back on, I found it easier to screw the nut all the way on without the wheel on to set the hex bolt on the pin! That's what I did on my maxx when I put on my widemaxx!
Didn’t think about that…..thanks for the tips and tricks 😉
Use the wheel spacer. On he shaft and put the wheel nut on tighten it. To seat the wheel hex.
Alright thanks!
broke a front & rear driveshaft on my maxx so i replaced them with some very similar to these and they have held up great so far, thought ive had to replace the rear hubs because they now wear faster, thought they are only 6 bucks thats something to watch out for, other than that they work great!
Awesome man! Glad they’re working for you!
I have a trick take off the bumpers, suspension arms and shocks then you have a perfect line of sight to the grub screw takes 1 minute to get a good line of sight to the grub screw
The bumper part sounds easy enough but it sounds like a pain to remove the arms
60 bones, better of saving a few more dollars and get the high velocity hardened steel, they are made for the v2, and the regular widemaxx install on v1. Major improvements in handling and instant power, definitely worth the money
Who makes them? How much are they?
easiest wat to do it is to remove screws for skid plate and the one on top for the front bumper. once all those are removed it comes apart as an assembly. then can take the front screw off that retains the lower arm pins and the arms fall out revealing easy access to the diff.
Good to know thanks 👍😉
@@RCKnockout It's the same for the rear. The wheelie bar is only mounted to the bumper and skid plate so like the front it comes off as a while assembly.
@@jacobwhittaker6241 gotcha thanks
cool driveshafts and install
Thanks!
I wonder if these would be long enough for the wide maxx?. If you don't want to push so hard on that hex to wrestle it on just run a nut down on your axle bro the nut will force the hex on.
Yeah they do…..This Maxx has the widemaxx kit …..
Thanks for the tip!
hey.. Will these work with traxxas maxx widemaxx as well?
Yeah
@@RCKnockout Thank you very much.. i m buying them from aliexpress and you can get all 4 of them for like $25- $30. BTW you channel is really good. keep up the good work.
@@Techie_ASMR no problem…..appreciate it!
Put on the wheel and the nut. Then tighten the nut carefully.
Thanks for the tip!
@@RCKnockout I hope it helps you with getting on the bl**dy hexes 👍😂
@@gregory9157 hope so…..I’ll have to try it out
Do these work with the new V2 maxx 🤔🤔🤔
Yes
Do those come for the widemaxx
Yeah these ones were installed on a widemaxx…they work great
How'd they hold up?
They’re still holding up strong on 6s!
How thay Holding up now mate
Can this drive shaft be used on a Maxx v2?
Yes
@@RCKnockout The Maxx v2 is widened and I'm concerned that the propshaft isn't long enough.
@@user-nu6jr5rx4o I understand your concern….this V1 already has the widemaxx kit so I know that this fits
@@RCKnockout I see, thank you.
@@user-nu6jr5rx4o you’re welcome!
I only have one RC that has driveshafts with those spring retainers. Worst design i ever seen. I soldered one in but when i was reinstalling it i came up with a better idea. The RC is a 3s line Typhon. I bought it used and had a lot of "upgrade" parts and the driveshafts were the spring retainer style. I am waiting on outdrives as i am installing a 6s line rear driveshaft set. Everything is working well as far as fitment goes. If i was able to use the entire 6s rear diff and axles, it would be no issue, but the 6s line diff wont work. Literally the only thing currently keeping the 6s line driveshafts from working is outdrives off the 3s differential. The outdrives may need drilled but that is literally the only thing holding me up right now.
I agree….spring retainers are a bad design…Well hopefully you get that all sorted out…..I didn’t realize there even was a Typhon 3s?
@@RCKnockout Yeah, there is. Its pretty much the same thing as the rest of the RC line. I dont know when it was released, i just bought if from a guy i watch on youtube as it was priced good. Becides, it was also helping him out so why not.
@@SebastianLong I gotcha…makes sense…..is it a 1/8 or 1/10 scale?
@@RCKnockout I'm not 100% sure if i'm correct but i believe it is a 1/8. Honestly, i never even looked it up. Lol. Im just so used to RCs at this point that i know what im looking for when it vomes to ordering parts. Haha
@@SebastianLong I gotcha…..so that makes it the same size as the 6s Typhon then?
They did not last one battery to me. And I did not jump
They broke?
@@RCKnockout yes.. And bent too :( very bad, money thrown away for me
@@ultimobancorc sorry to hear about your experience…….are they the same exact ones I’m running?
@@RCKnockout yes in red color
@@ultimobancorc that’s surprising….I’ve beaten the crap out of mine and they’ve taken it great
Ist a ebay scam to buy these one right?
I bought these off Ebay….it wasn’t a scam
Should of just gotten the traxxas ones,
They’re way more expensive than these ones….Those are like $100…….
@@RCKnockout yep sure are, but I won’t ever have to replace one. You’ll be replacing those Chinese things
@@jaycevessier7554 like Taiwan makes better quality metal cvd axles lol on 4s I’m sure they will perform the same
@@tonycastagna1145 no, they won’t. Have you seen the traxxas metal dog bone axles? I’ve been running them 6 months on 3 maxx’s and no breakage.
@@jaycevessier7554 I broke this Chinese crap at first run after some minute :(
OMG!!!🤦
