Traxxas CV Driveshaft Set (4) (Revo/Maxx 3.3)
About this part
This is an optional Traxxas CV Driveshaft Set, and is intended for use with the Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3, Revo 3.3, E-Maxx and E-Revo trucks. Traxxas Steel Constant Velocity Driveshafts are designed to handle the extreme horsepower and articulation that a T-Maxx or Revo can dish-out. The inner and outer U-joints are lubricated and sealed by a rubber boot for maximum protection against the elements, and the U-joint pins are held captive by a lightweight aluminum sleeve so you never have to worry about losing a pin. The nickel plated steel shafts, blue silicone boots, and red-anodized aluminum accents not only look good, they are designed to exacting specifications for ultimate strength and performance. These are simply the most advanced steel CV driveshafts available for the Maxx and Revo trucks.

I found that these wont work with the RPM True Trac rear. you cant adjust them enough to stay in the dog bone. the fronts work with RPM axle carriers if adjusted in enough to keep the shaft in enough.
edit : my second set is broke at FIRST DRIVE !!! try somethink diffrent...
These are great and super strong. Everything has it's breaking point, and this prodict's breaking point = 6s lipo insanity. These probably wing break in a nitro trick. These will work with long amounts if travel in a Maxx, but you'll have to use the Revo extended drive cups 5153R
These things are trick! they make the truck look great with the stock pushrods and toe links. Not only do they look good, they are strong and help from twisting axles on the big block power plants. The only issue i have is that you cannot use these above the middle hold on the arms or else they will pop out. but they still work great
Robert, do you understand the kind of torque being put through an axle shaft when it is attached to the mamba monster running on a 6s lipo????? There is a reason they said it was for tho revo and not the e-revo. Other than that, great product like always from traxxas.
Reviewers generally find these driveshafts strong and an improvement over stock, with several praising their performance on Revo and Maxx 3.3 trucks and their stock-fit appearance. Opinions diverge on durability: some report breakage under high-power setups such as 6S LiPo or nitro, while others report no issues. Fitment problems recur: they reportedly do not work with RPM True Trac rear setups, must be kept below the middle hole on the arms to avoid popping out, and may need caster blocks loosened for installation. Some report the shafts popping out on big jumps and puncturing boots, and bending on hard landings. Reviewers note they are pricey but considered worth it by some.
