Did you figure this out yet?

 

No, after finding the broken shaft, I put it back in the trailer :sonicjay:

nice pic!!

 

Making the bald tires more bald. Mustache FTW.

 

I was trying to kill @chevotass I believe he had to bail out and run for oxygen. You can kinda see his front end next to me :teehee:

 

 

Okay, I have broke the rr shaft twice now. I believe this is do to the rr tube being bent. Causing the shaft to bind a little crooked. Not interested in building a new axle. Broke two stock shafts in 4 years.

So my question is, would a chromo shaft be better or worse given the shaft is being put in a different stress then normal being the tube is bent? Or should I just find another stock replacement?

 

Stock and a spare. No point in messing up money shafts with a known issue

 

When my 14 bolt was bent from all the welding of brackets and truss. It was about a 1" off in the center if I pulled a string spindle to spindle. I brought it back with heat shrinking. Drew a 1" x 1" grid on the side that needed to be "shorter" and used a rose bud. Heat one grid point till it's cherry about the size of a dime, cool it with wet rags. do the next grid point. Start in the center of the high point on the outside of curve and work your way out. If it don't come back in the first time over. Stagger the grid and go over it again. I've done this a few times and it has worked, not staying it always works, but I've had good luck.

 

So you volunteering? :sonicjay: it was bent before the truss. I'm just a dumbass and put the truss on anyway.

 

I wouldn't mind helping..............if I wasn't trying to get my junk done and ready for shock tuning at the Badlands on the 14th. :sonicjay:

 

Straighten & then use stock axles.

 

I'm in no hurry lol, and I wouldn't expect your help for free. Everyone's time is worth something. And nobody knows this better then a former flat rate tech lol.

 

I would wheel with you for free. :thumb:

 

there is a cool video on pirate on straightening an axle in the general 4x4 forum

 

For now, I ordered a replacement chromo shaft. See how it holds up.

Got the buggy out of the trailer and into the garage. Gonna start looking into the drivability issues as well as fix some more wiring. I picked up a much nicer fuse block then what I previously installed.

I am also gonna look into sending my ecm out to be gone through. I think I have an issue there. My ecm is the same one bones ran in his race buggy, so between all the bumps and bangs he gave it and all the bumps and bangs I've given it, I wouldn't be surprised if some things have gotten loose inside.

 

What shafts did you order? Just 1541h stuff?

Whatever will deflect better will probably hold up better for your situation i would think.

I have the 1541h yukon shafts and they are holding up quite well to the abuse

Good luck getting it running. Hope it goes smooth

 

I ordered the yukon cut to fit 4340.


The computer is on its way to Florida to get gone through.

Bought a new fuse box, and I am working on a new electrical setup to better protect everything from the elements.

 

Great. hope to see it out soon

 

x2 :beerbang:

 

I just installed the new shaft. I don't think it will ever come out. Even if it breaks.

 

Lol, bent that bad?
