Front Driveshaft worn out

[buzzracer78]

Just upgraded to an OBR 7.5hp engine and wore out the front driveshaft.

What are the best aftermarket parts do this doesn't happen again? I should probably do both front and rear as well as all the axles?

Help needed ASAP so I can order them in time for the weekend!

Thanks
Bryan

Not sure how much this helps, but I have been kind of looking around for an upgraded driveline as well...and as far as I can tell, Losi is the only one making these.
Again, not sure this is the truth...

PhatDad RC makes the best you can get. Doesn't do rear CVD driveshaft, but makes everything else. Get things while you can. DDM had the front center driveshaft last time I checked. Well worth the price. Lifetime warranty against breakage.

The dogbone end pin is replaceable, but they are tricky to press in and out. I would purchase 5 of the stockers for that price. LOSB3216
These are the real secret:

I have not purchased mine yet but will be replacing them soon after I figure out my engine trouble. I have spark, I have fuel, but it won't start....Sigh.

He asked for the best. PhatDad drivetrain components are the best money can buy. I have the Team Chase cups for the center differential too. Very nice. I actually have almost everything team chase makes aside from the steering linkage and the Diff cups. I also own everything from PhatDad RC aside from the bronze bushing kit. A couple parts are still coming in the mail as they were just made. You could indeed buy ten stockers for that price, or one PhatDad that will last.

Unfortunately he doesn't make a center rear as he said the price would be too high. If you are serious about getting the bombproof shiz, I'd act fast as they will be sold out soon. His products don't sit around much and it can be a long wait between production runs. Excellent customer service too.

Add the Team Chase Center drive cups and CV quick Coupling and you have the best drivetrain you can buy at the moment. Yes it is rather expensive

Right on, ordering them tomorrow hopefully for overnight delivery. Gotta be running on Saturday.
