Moore's Ideal Products 10130 X-Duty CVD Kit for Rear Traxxas Slash/Slash 4x4

My son and I built our own track and use our three Slash Ultimates every weekend. We are THE neighborhood hangout. Each car gets hours of use and abuse every week. I've gotten good at figuring out what are the weak parts of the Slash - first and foremost are the axles. We were breaking an axle in one of our cars every 20 minutes... which meant a ton of down-time, and a bunch of unhappy 7yos. If you use these cars a lot, the MIP axles are a must. When we buy a new car, I replace the axles before even driving a lap on our track. These things are indestructible. It will take FAR more than the 3S (~2hp) Velineon motors to break these things. That is a good thing, and a bad thing. What this means is that something else is gonna break. We are getting hours and hours of use before anything breaks. These axles are not cheap, but at ~$10 per set of plastic axles... it doesn't take that much time to make the cost of the MIPs worth the price of admission if you drive these cars regularly. My best guess is that we have ~4 hours of driving across 3 Slashes before we have a failure in any one car since upgrading to the MIPs. Money well spent! If there's a downside to these axles (other than the $150 cost per car) its the installation procedure. Not sure why these are not put together before you buy them. Instead, you get a bag full of axles, ball joints, and a bazillon tiny set screws. It takes about an hour per car to put four axles together and install them on all four corners. That said... you do it once and forget about it.

Yes, these are very precise and appear to be strong and durable. The nicest thing is the car's suspension is much smoother with the telescoping steel, compared to the constantly binding (but very capable) stock plastic. Assembly requires careful attention. (hint: ensure the screw seats on the flat portion) ...... Threadlock is your friend here. A really nice set of components....A little pricey, but I'm thinking, compared to, say, the $40 oil cooler fittings I replaced recently...they really are a good value.

So impressed, these are solid steel, you could run a real car with these. Very easy to put together, directions are well illustrated and the parts are manufactured perfectly. Just be prepared, these move the weak spot, so your axles will last forever, but on 3s vxl, something else will definitely break. Ah, toys, so much fun...

These things are built like a tank, exactly what I wanted for my slash 2wd. Great instructions for assembly.

These things look and feel bombproof. I've got them on my slash 4x4 brushless running 3s lipo packs and there is no breaking these THATS for sure. Putting them together was fun too- I like that kind of stuff. I like how it came with grease and thread lock too- nice touch. UPDATE: Even though I used the thread locker on the teeny set-screws and waited the appropriate amount of time for it to cure before use, one of them backed out and dissapeared into the grass. This occurred about a month after installation. The CVD responded by immediately disconnecting from the differential and separating. I had to buy the Rebuild Kit to get another set screw. One star removed for this reason. Perhaps a better design could be found than relying on four teeny set screws per CVD.

So I thought these were suppose to last forever. Mabe im under the wrong impression and they are just suppose to last longer. After a few months of running a slash 4x4 with a 2650 kv, 150amp esc, and a double slipper that holds 6 fiction pads instead of 3, I was sad to discover play in my drive shafts from oveling and the pins flatening. And a pin broke. Witch u can replace with a 2mm hex wrench if cut down to size. Save alot of money there but im sad it happened at all. These are the stongest I can find but they should not be rated for over 3s if im breaking mine on an off brand 3s batt. I do love the clearence u can get with them compered to t bone half shafts. But they need to make an even more heavy duty half shaft for people with 2.8 tires trying to floor it threw some mud.

I have these for about a year. I do alot of street racing and use 3s. I would break rear axles after about 3 to 5 packs. I got tired of wasting money. These are heavy. You need to use loctite when assembling them. You need to clean and maintain them. But they work awesome and imo a must have if you want bulletproof Slash 4x4. Buy only the rears. I haven't broke the stock fronts yet.

this product is garbage. It falls a part and you loose pieces left and right. I bought four of these, front and rear for slash and stampede 4x4 and ALL of them fell a part. I spent 2 days meticulously putting these together using locktite and marine grease on the joints and they are garbage. Of coarse I go to amazon to return the product and I am 2 days too late to return these. So now I am out all the money of time and returning these and the cost of one of the sets. DO NOT BUY these. I ordered the Traxxas brand heavy duty for both Slash and Stampede and will post my results accordingly.

Best you can buy

Perfect. And very fast shipping

Tuff and durable but the drain of the rear pin sucks , loosesens every run
