Ok got a good question,I have the older model Nitro Stampede. I keep breaking to the stock right rear half shaft,right at the spline part. Does anyone know of a better built shaft I could use? This is my 5th in a year.


Thanks
Nick

Sounds like it is time to upgrade to a CVS. It is an all metal replacement for the half shaft system. Some people call it a "dogbone" because of its shape. Many different companies offer these upgrades for the N Pede. It is called a "constant velocity system".
I had the same problem with stripping the splines on the half shaft system when I upgraded my engine in the original N Pede. The CVS replacements worked wonderfully and I never had to replace another half shaft.
Come to think of it, it would be nice if someone came out with a metal version of the half shaft system. I like the engineering of it. One thing to watch for when using the CVS is that it will pop out of the nylon drive dogs by the transmission, under extreme forces like jumps. It would be a good idea to upgrade the drive dogs to metal also. Hope this helps.
