The product has changed since the description was written. Both sets that I received came with a shaft designed to fit the standard Traxxas hex and us a pin to retain the hex just like the stock setup. I have lost multiple of the little pins and wanted to get away from using them, but the parts still looks like quality and should work well regardless.
they fit good but you must to put screws in first then put the diff cover on kinda tricky unless you grind the drive cup a lil bit they work good would recommend
Nice shaft assembly, not sure how durability is as I haven't yet tested them. Note:For some reason, these will not work with thier pivot ball hub upgrade. The outside pin retaining cup does not clear the hub next to the inner bearing.
Three verified owners give mixed feedback on this CV shaft set for the Traxxas 1/16 Revo VXL. One reviewer found the shafts use a pin retainer like the stock setup rather than the design the description implies, and noted losing pins, though the parts looked well made. Another reported good fit but said installation is tricky, requiring the screws to be placed before the diff cover, and that grinding the drive cup slightly helped. A third rater praised the assembly but had not yet tested durability and reported that the set does not work with the pivot ball hub upgrade because the outer pin retaining cup does not clear the hub. Durability remains untested in the reviews.
