The hanger bearing you see is a F350 steering block that is bolted to the frame..

That's a good question, I've found some call it different things?

http://store.hkshobby.com/product_in...oducts_id=6642
, but they've been out for a while.

http://www.rcmodelex.com/www-rcmodel...Save-shaft-5mm

They're expensive for me, because of shipping to the US

I've checked RC4wd, Towerhobbies, and more, I can't find them. I'm looking for some in the states also..

Thanks
Cody


EDIT:

That's awesome, I've got 2 sitting on my desk infront of me, I read it, and Had a DUH moment...

http://store.hkshobby.com/product_in...401c40e375d926

Only place I could find that has the aluminum version... or plastic for that matter.

I think that is the same one RC4WD is selling as well.
http://store.rc4wd.com/T2-Disruptor-...e-_p_2301.html
But the Toys Cube price is $10 and RC4WD is $59.99. Makes you wander just how much of RC4WD's stuff is someone else's just renamed. I know they sell other manufacturers stuff but it is usually under that manufacturers name not RC4WD.

Yep we figured that out but it is funny as to how similar they are.

Russisloud here on the forum makes some and they are made to match his cross members.

So are you guys drilling a hole thru the steel shaft and using a traxxas pin instead of a set screw? I just cant picture a plastic driveshaft yoke being strong enough to tighten a set screw against the flat on the steel shaft, steel shaft being the pinion bearing or transmission output.

Yes you can buy the shafts separate from the yokes. I'll have to look the P/N's up when I get home and post them.
