I recently ordered the hot racing 17mmhexes for my kraton. And i was wondering and doing a bit of math by extenting the hexes will it cause more stress on the driveshafts? My driveshafts are in pretty bad shape specially the rear driveshafts. I also had others concerns about the shaft bending over time causing tire wobble and hot racing poop alluminum. If the driveshaft is longer in my head they are in a lot more stress than the ones who are short does this make sense or its only me??
 
No I think it will stress hubs and bearings, but not driveshafts.
 
Alright i hope i wont regret it
You menaged to run a 18t pinion so maybe i should not worry?
Well I’m back down to a 17T cuz my son stripped the 18T. I gave away my spare to the Sunday Funday guys a few weeks back.
