Hey guys!
As mentioned before, I mostly use these steel drive shafts or axles on my trucks:

The problem with the pin locking system on most of these types of axles is that the retaining spring is rather weak. That makes the spring expand, making room for the pin to get flung out and never to be found again...
Mind you, that usually happens when you have a high kv motor, but then again, you're gonna use steel axles with a brushless setup anyways, because the standard plastic ones will break very, very easily.
So to prevent this from happening, I've made a video showing you how to fix this issue.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to post them so I can answer them.
I forgot to zero out the calipers!!!! It's 0.32 inch!!!
