FIX IT! Driveshaft Upgrade for Traxxas Slash 2WD 

Oh my goodness I can’t wait to put this on the slash. I’ve had to squeeze them back together countless times.

Fantastic timing finding this vid, i just broke my Traxxas cv shafts, will be getting these!!! Thank you for sharing!

I have needed a solution for a VERY old 2wd Rustler. Mine is so old the hubs don't accept the new bearings, and came with bushings from the factory. So I was already looking at replacing the hubs to get a reliable bearing set installed. This kit solves 2 of my problems at once!

Troy my boy got doing what we need 🙏

Great upgrade recommendation. I wish I would have done these instead of the MIP race shafts

This upgrade is SO needed! It feels like the Slash was engineered back in the day before brushless, then they dropped the brushless in. It just wants to eat itself on brushless/3S every time it goes out. I have replaced SO manny diffs, driveshafts, gearbox housings etc. Finally have settled on the Traxxas 9052X driveshafts which have held up. Would have gone with this kit had it been known to me at the time!

another great how to video Troy!!

That tekno rear hub. I really like. Looks thicker / beefier. Lots of camber adjustments so it will be nice for racing. Its nice that tekno offered 2 different size hexes. So more tuneability if you need it.

you wonder why they never had metal drive shafts to start with certainly a good upgrade *big like👍Au👀its a full watch💯*

thanks for the video. I might pick that kit up.

This isi a very useful upgrade for Slash owners. I think it will really help. One thing about this type of the drive shaft is the pin that holds it all together. If you break a rear hub and have to remove it you have to be very careful not to lose it if your changing it quickly at the track.

i got burshels couple years ago with 2s survived no problem. drove 10minutes with 3s and boom (rustler)

Perfect timing my slash just broke the tabs on the shaft

Been there done that. I use MIP X duty shafts. I only been running on 2s. And brushless. Traxxas has the plastic extreme heavy duty shafts from the rustler 4x4 and hoss. Direct fit on the 2wd. Idk how good they are. For driveshafts, I always go steel. Tekno shafts are nice too. Note: Any part from traxxas is weak, terrible or not so good design. Its a traxxas thing. (Traxxas, not the fastest name in radio control) I use mostly RPM parts for more durable and flexible plastic. I use Atomik RC for any aluminum parts. Atomik rc parts are better quality, more tuneability, and its half the price of the traxxas aluminum parts (when I last checked, traxxas 2wd aluminum rear hubs were 35 USD. Atomik RCs aluminum rear hubs were 14 USD.) Also, with me getting into racing more and more. Im trying to get my slash 2wd and rustler 2wd ready and dialed in for the carpet track. Its not going so well. Car has way to much traction. With the slash, the body catches lots of air which is no bueno. Ill just stick with my AE B74.1 and Losi mini b for racing. I might turn my slash into a drag car for my local carpet drag strip at my track. 66 feet. Not really full size 1/10 strip, its just for fun :)

Another great video Roadside. Say I have come across videos where people are stating that this kit will not allow the rear suspension to compress fully and use all the travel. Have you encountered this? Thanks

Hey roadside, what tires you got on for the 2wd slash in this video? Thanks

Any recommendations on a replacement bellcrank my original plastic ones are so wore out and sloppy I don't bash mine to hard just zipping around in grass and gravel

Any reason to pick this over the traxxas versions (TRX1951R/TRX9052X)? Was indeed the first thing that broke after brushless upgrade on our 2wd stampede.

What weight diff fluid do you recommend for the 2wd Slash VXL for general bashing?

Mine don't look broken but they're super wobbly cant tell what's wrong but my back wheels are not rotating properly? Any clue?

I have a slash chassis im "going" to be building to be a rwd drift car. Any tips? Its bare bones as of now. No electronics no shocks no drivetrain and nothing from the casters out. Im upgrading a bandit vxl as of now and ill be using the transmission from that in the slash.

Will these fit a 2wd VXL rustler? I would assume they do but a review on amazon said they didnt fit the rustler. Hoping he was just dumb because these are what i want.

Best parts you can put on a Traxxas.

just had to replace the ones on my neighbors, for this exact reason

had one on my stampede it broke won't last the average person 3-4 months lasted me 2 weeks would be good for racing not bashing

Es traxxas 🤮que esperabas 🤮yo no buelvo a comprar esa marca en la vida🤮🤮🤮
