Tekno RC 6851x FRT M6 Drive Shafts/Steering Blocks

This kit is awesome.. I have installed both the front and rear M6 tekno kit, aswell as the bigbone center drivershaft. I have to say i love them. I got sick of breaking stock driveshafts on my Stampede 4x4 VXL (6708L)...I replaced 4 rears and 2 fronts in 2 months... When I upgraded my P4DE to the Castle 1415 2400kv motor and Hobbywing WP-SC8 120A ESC the drivetrain was already bulletproofed. This kit is LIGHT but made of HARDENED steel.. Replace the stock slipper pads with the aluminum ones from the revo rebuild kit if you plan to run above 3S..Also grab some spare 6x12x4mm rubber sealed bearings, as this kit upgrades your stub axles to 6mm over the stock 5mm meaning none of your old stock bearings from your old carriers or steering blocks will work... I shredded one the first week after the upgrade and learned real fast how frustrating it is to have a sidelined truck simply because of a bearing..The Tekno Bearings are better than the traxxas sealed ones, but could be better. Also I Realllly wish tekno make an aluminum 7075 steering block,c-hub,rear carrier set to go with their oversized axle's but the tekno plastic ones are just like RPM Plastic they are unbreakable so they say, and warranty'd for life. I would buy this kit again and again without even a thought. Mine came with the lightened drive cups ;D I'm really a big fan of the design and the fact there is only a single grub screw used to actually connect the drive cups to the diff itself. The dog bones are captured in the cups and the shaft joints are captured inside the stub axles. Absolutely eliminating the possibly of anything threading out or coming lose during bashing or racing etc. I run full RPM A-Arms all around and I have never had a cvd pop out like some people have claimed. I jump my truck 25+ feet on a regular basis, and the suspension is fully extended. the harder it lands the further into the drive cups its going to force the dogbone so i dont see how it could come out. anyway rant over!! LOL Use blue loctite when you install the single set screw into each diff cup, and give it time to set before running. Happy Basshing!¡ Edit: Just wanted to mention that the aluminum front steering blocks & c-hubs from the XO-1 will work with the oversized 6mm axles... FRONT ONLY tho the rears will not.

These things have served me perfectly. Worked for months with hard ripping and drifting in my slash 4x4 stock electronics. Motor dies, (yay for rust) these beat the replacement motor where the new replacement motor shaft ripped out of the car. I haven't had a single issue. It feels more responsive, whereas before it seemed like the crappy stock shafts were twisting as it accelled. I'm working on fixing it up now, still works after a half year in out florida garage. (using a brushed motor from a stampede) These will serve you well, please do not buy more of the Traxxas plastic shafts. They are absolute trash. I have a PILE of them with broken u-joints. These guys really made a quality product. I can't stress this enough, I am pissed at traxxas for providing these when they WILL break out of the box, with no power upgrades.

Definitely recommend! Way better than Traxxas. Second set in a year but, I run 6s battery on castle 1515 2200kv motor. Stock axle last about 2 seconds.

Bought a bunch of cheap drive shafts.Had no luck with any of them. I even bought the traxas constant velocity.Drive shafts about eighty bucks and still had issues. I bought these and have had zero issues since. Made my slash 4x4 on 4s basically bullet proof.

I got these for my slash 4x4 since I swapped out the motor for a 1/8 motor. They work great but I did break a shaft after only a month from normal driving. Tekno did replace it for free tho. Great customer service

Very Impressed, nice clean look hold up to abuse. Only complaint is they were not really specific on the fact that you need to change the hub carrier in your car do the axle to fit

Since the purchase of my Slash brushless I have been breaking drive shafts almost every time I used the truck. To fix Traxxas's incompetence to design a truck to be used with a 3s lipo and plastic drive shafts. Did my research and found a lot of talk on the Tenko set up. Having a Slash Platinum I was hesitant because I had to remove the beautiful aluminum steering blocks that came with the truck and use the ones in the kit. After installing I realized that these have a much tighter fit within the bearings and eliminate a lot of steering slop. Not to mention that I can now stand on the throttle with no worries about snapping the crappy traxxas shafts. Best upgrade you can do to eliminate headaches!

I have been having issues with driveshafts on my Traxxas hoss for months and these finally fixed my issue I kept breaking driveshafts or they just straight up didn’t fit these are amazing driveshafts and my new go to!
