Driveshaft upgrade

[ddent4590]

Just wondering I have a senton 550 mega with a 6s system it's just destroying my driveshafts in the front and rear does anyone know of like a bulletproof upgrade I have the stock cvd sliders with 17mm hex

I don’t know the answer. But you’ll run into more problems even if you solve this one. That truck just can’t handle 6S.

I’d encourage you to buy 6S car instead of dumping more money into your current one.

Read through this thread, It may give you some ideas.

Also, I agree that the car just won't handle 6s. Unless you run it at 50% throttle or less, expect to constantly blow up plastic drivetrain parts.

Spoiler alert. 6s cars, even fully upgraded, still have issues with drive shafts and even with upgraded diff cups.

All my shafts and diff cups are basically ruined now even if they don't wobble.

Shafts have the pins flattened and diff cups have grooves worn in so deep.

I bullet proofed my car but now it's regular wear and tear that's killing it.

Run 4s. 6s is a killer in the megas.

I wish the center shafts were available as sliding universals, they seem to be the ones that wear that fastest for me.

I'm doing 50,000rpm on a 20/57 it's max speed is like 50mph on 6s I've done 73mph on a 4000 kv 3s 26/57 so it shouldn't be speed

The shaft from motor to diffs?

Sorry I meant on the 6s models, the shafts from the center diff to the front and rear gearboxes.

He's talking the torque of the motor it is too much for the drivetrain of the 3s models to handle.

Yeah I went back stock arrma shafts because I just treat them like consumables now, don't bother trying to save them.

You could try some aluminum center driveshafts..
But, you're just looking for trouble with 6S power in a 3S chassis/drivetrain.
Good luck!
