G Made Hardened Carbon Steel Universal Shafts

[desertdude]

Hello,
Is anyone running these G Made Hardened Carbon Steel Universal Shafts successfully? I got them over the MIP's :shock: <TABLE class=v65-productDisplay cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR class=v65-productDisplay-row> <TD class="v65-productDisplay-cell v65-productColumn-divider v65-product-rowspan" background=/v/vspfiles/templates/RPP_Good/images/Grid_Divider_Vertical.gif rowSpan=3> </TD> <TD class="v65-productDisplay-cell v65-productName" vAlign=top width="33%"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

many people use them, i've even heard they tend to be alittle better due to less weight

I use them in various brushless rigs...never had one fail. I definitely recommend them.

Snapped one less than a minute after install, Could have been a bad batch, Who knows , I got a neat keychain out of the deal, Expensive keychain lol .

Back to MIP's I went.

Ive beaten the sh!t out of mine on my scx10. Two broken cvd's, one rear axle, a tranny gear, and a stripped ring and pinion- the Junfacs are fine. That said, my wraith has MIPs.

Plenty down here run them, they tend to be easier to source than waiting on the post from the US for MIP, I have the junfac/g-made shafts on both my scx10 & my Axial based MT (though I have MIP on my u4 rigs)
That broken one is almost certainly a slightly too short cross pin (no fault of the owner) when the pin drops out of one side & all the load goes through the other, only seen a one other pic of one broken like that & but a couple coming close with the pin half out.
I'm trying to remember, I don't think stock they run the m3 grub screw in the coupler cross bush, they just rely on the outer snap thing to retain the cross pin. The cross bush is threaded & ready to add the locking grub screw, same as MIP.

I run them as well and have had good luck.
