July '13 - Got mine and instead of reading this, order them, NOW! BY FAR the BEST cv driveshafts for your slash (mine is 2wd). The only thing that could make these better is replacement pieces. I've had mip and others and these are worth every penny! Oct '13 - UPDATE: Still best ever upgrade for your slash ever! ZERO complaints ZERO issues! I may never need to replace these driveshafts EVER! Apr '14 Still look brand new best upgrade period! Oct '18 - Still running the same set of axles. I have had to replace a few boots here and there but these things are like five years old now and have been through serious bashing and racing. Please don't use these on a 2wd Rustler or Stampede, Traxxas has longer ones for those models = TRA1951R Also rebuild kit available: TRA6757
!Axle Shear Beware! After Running 2 batteries(2s lipo) thru my nearly stock Traxxas Slash 4x4 I sheared an axle. I landed a pretty basic jump at my local track, and my wheel just *pop* and continued down the track. You can't replace the axle with any other, it's one solid part(basically). I do believe I received a dud though. As the other one is still working fine. The only wear I've seen is the rubber boot popping off the joints. (meh). So 2/5 stars since one is still intact for now. UPDATE 2 days later..... Running again at my local track... My other driveshaft has now failed. Lost the pin out of the ball joint that connects to the differential block rendering it useless. I'm currently contacting both HobbyTown and Traxxas to help resolve this issue, as these are complete trash. *If you want to throw away 60 bucks this is a good way to do so.* Wish I could rate a it a 0.
These do have halfshaft and spindels. Tra6750 6751 6753 6754 all parts separate aswell as a pin/BOOT KIT 6757 diff outputs 6758. So all parts available. Yw
Great upgrade better than the stock plastic or the upgraded heavy duty plastic drive shafts.
Half shaft not sold separately, good product without parts support. MIP have shaft and separate parts for servicing
Reviewers are divided on this steel CV driveshaft for Traxxas Slash models. Several long-term owners praise its durability and report years of bashing and racing with only boot replacements, and some note that replacement parts such as pins, boots and half shafts are available. Others report failures: axles sheared on jumps or early drives, boots slipping off, and pins coming loose. One reviewer says the half shaft is not sold separately, and several questions about fitment to 2WD ProTrack Slash, Summit and Stampede 4X4 remain unanswered or are answered as likely incompatible. Reviews are mixed on durability and fitment.
