Started with some basics, redcat spools, metal driveshafts but then I snapped both axles going off too high of a drop so decided to go full build.

Started out AWS by rewiring rear servo and used Y harness but ended up blowing steering on receiver so installed spectrum 5 channel and dynamite ESC. I got the programmable spectrum remote to be able to switch steering modes.

Hey i love the build. Im currently working on making metal drive shafts work for mine. I saw the name you put for your shafts is there anyway you can reply with a link? I shaved my drive shaft end instead of trans housing, but they slip off of diff input shafts. I think its because of the set screws that came with the shafts though.

2pcs Stainless Universal Drive... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H5CXFY9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I know at one point with the drive shafts I was testing I did need to swap set screws from a different set to make them work right, but I don’t remember if it was with these or not...
 
Also it looks like they don’t currently have the size I used available.
I cut mine because they were too long, but i think im going to go to a hobby store and take an extra screw and see if i can get some good ones. Also a better bit so i can tighten then more
