In this video I show you how to install new driveshafts on the Traxxas Hoss and The Rustler 4x4 VXL. Stick around to the 12:20 minute mark to see something special! I hope this video helps you out!
Great that I found this. Helped us fix our Hoss driveshaft that busted after 2 days of use from jumping off a 5 foot wall haha.
I always assume my neighbors think I'm crazy when I'm walking the back yard with my wheeled magnet. Mine's 30" wide and has paid for itself many times over. Thanks for the videos
Yeah its one of my favorite tools
@@outsourcedrc Hi, i have a hoss is it normal for the metal drive shaft to break They’ve snapped two times and I’ve had multiple plastic ones which have snapped too.
Just got my Boss and I am upgrading the axels to the Traxxas heavy duty constant velocity ones. Your video was to the point and very detailed. I found it very helpful and it's going to be helping me with mine it looks like the shocks are real easy to do I bought the Big bore aluminum ones
You land better then you take of with the Hoss! Very cool, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy and safe!
Thanks!
I did not think you were gonna find that bearing!
I know, right? I was only out there for like a minute.
We all know that feeling of losing a bearing 😖
Thanks for the videos. I put the 6852a axles on my 2wd rustler as well. Big difference in the plastics. After a skate park bash and a few speed runs absolutely no play at the u-joints unlike the stock shafts that had play after the first 20 mins of normal driving.
This video was very helpful, I broke my front driveshaft of my hoss, and I didn’t really know how to get to it.
Thanks for this vid and stay safe!
I'm glad this video helped
Nice snag on the bearing! I hit a tree with my hoss and broke a shock shaft. In my frustration, I didn’t even bother looking for the parts. A week later I went back to the park and managed to find the spring, as well all of the spacers and stuff that went flying as far as 10 feet away from that tree!
i wish you had more videos with the hoss
The real trick is to olie into the truck bed. 😄 btw, I'm surprised you found your bearing. Through the years I've had that happen after working on real cars. I'm always amazed by it. Ive found bolts and screws weeks or months later and thought, what the heck!
Only if I could Ollie it that high.
Your video saved the day! Thanks for posting this.
This really helped thanks I forgot to transfer the bearing over from my old axle had the same wheel wobble you did lol
Glad I could help.
I’m jealous. My Hoss will flip taking off. The wheelie bar don’t help 😂
Legend with the bearing finder!
Mate going to have to make one of those.
And thanks, Im enjoying the informative aspects of your videos.
p.s.
Not that i know planes much but was it a Stearman?
Love the grass landing strip. Got to be an aviators community there... all the houses around the strip.
Thanks!
@@timonthornley8344 Yeah its a Stearman. Yeah this neighborhood has a run way in the middle of it.
Thank You for your detailed install it was just right for my upgrade to my Hoss A#1,5*****s
The black drive shafts no longer come on the Rustlers. They've been upgraded to the gray ones. I've upgraded my Rustler to MIP drive shafts because even the RPM drive shafts were snapping on me.
I can’t believe you found it.. smart
Right? I couldn’t believe it either.
I love your Property its jusy Majestic. Thanks for another very informative video. I have not run my Rustler of late and need to do this change.
Thanks! I need to work on my property a lot. This winter I'm clearing out my back yard.
Thanks for the vid pal great as usual
Thanks for the video, I enjoy and appreciate your informational videos. I was. Debating on getting the hoss. Think I'll stick wroth with my. E_Revo2.0 I actually have 2... Well I ordered a chassis and with all the spare parts I got I actually was able to build a 3rd.!! LoL just needed to buy a Castle 1515motor and Mamba Monster 2 ESC. 20 T pinion and 46T Spurr. It's A BEAST!
Looking foreword to your next video.
Hoss will have the same issues of the rustler 4x4 and slashes if you dont like both of those vehicules then it should answer your question they are money pits this video proves it putting 100$ driveshafts on a 530 truck shouldnt be a thing. Get the maxx you wont regret it hopefully if you keep it stock
you can never have too many E revos
Put some slash tires on the rustler and have a blast, you can also up the pinion without overheating as fast. I currently have slash tires and a 15t pinion and it’s a beast.
I have a heavily modified rustler 4x4 vxl and it snapped several drive shafts and it just shredded the inside splines on one of them but it does not break the heavy duty ones that much
Have you tried the extra heavy duty ones from tracks? The number 9051X and 9052X?
@@MrMetz2112 not yet but i want to
After buying many many driveshafts from different companies for my rustler, I switched to arrma.
Idshunter ur comment is super hard to understand it barely makes any sense
Cause I've had the 8s outcast for 2 weeks and havent broken anything yet. Rustler was 2nd pack and boom driveshaft down. Wait a week just to have it happen again, and so on. I think I'm good 400 into driveshafts...
Is the hoss alot tougher than a stampede? The stampede axles break all the time.
Hi, i have a hoss is it normal for the metal drive shaft to break They’ve snapped two times and I’ve had multiple plastic ones which have snapped too.
On the front? Or rear? If you are landing under power, that will break any drive shaft. Be sure you are letting off the trigger when you land.
Jesus christ😂😂😂the baring😂😂😂😂omg this video just got a like
Thanks!
Nice to know debating on getting the hoss or the Arrma big rock v3 thanks for great info.👍👍💯💯
That's a tough decision. I have the new big rock cc it's a nice truck. If you like stable handling it has it, if you want to hooligan a truck more, wheelies and all that, I'd go with the hoss. Big thing is, the price. The big rock is hard to beat for the price. That hoss is appealing though.
Cool plane. great vid.
Thanks! its my friends.
Black is no longer shipping on the rustler, it’s shipping with Hoss ones.
yeah I've heard.
Wow nice car in garage. Tire looks flat you should keep tires off ground with Jack stands. To keep tires good when not used .just like your rc. 😆
Hey man. kind of off topic, but I have a question about the hoss and rustler bodies. I recently started doing a stampede to hoss conversion and I am wondering if the Rustler body will fit on the hoss? I want to get a revo like look to this thing if I can. Maybe this is a video idea for you if it works! Thanks for the help. :)
Is that a 69 mach1 mustang... NICE!!!
Great video!
The rustler I bought came with the grey shafts but they still snap often
120$ for 4 driveshafts is a bit overkill.
For a 1:10 scale...
Yeah agreed. It’s actually more like $140 -160 new. I’ll give arrma that, the CVD hybrids are much cheaper. You do need ring and pinion gears with those however.
Just got HOSS yesterday and after only 5 minutes of driving it I broke rear axle. And I wasn't doing anything extreme, except triyng to do an Ollie jump which obviously I do not master yet. I suppose I landed it on brakes just like you explained in your video. Anyway I hope that a replacement part (6852A) is going to be of a better quality than the stock one. Otherwise I'm a bit worried axels will continue to break oftenly.
How were the replacements? Just ordered some on Amazon
Dam I’d love get my pilots license! Very cool
Me too!
Are those steal drive shafts heavy? I know the MIP cvds are heavy. I put on GPR cvds on my Russeler 4x4 vxl. So far so good. It also rolls smoother. But they are a little heavy!
I mean, kinda. They are not too heavy.
WAIT!!! Was that you flying the plane? Had no idea you were a pilot! That is super cool.
When the pilot lets go of the stick and says "your plane," everyone is a pilot :P It was my first time up. He did let me pilot it once we got off the ground.
@@outsourcedrc my friends dad was a pilot for united when I was 13, I’m 57 now. I helped his dad build a pole barn for his experimental double winger open cockpit red baron plane. When he was done building the plane he used to take me up in it and let me fly it also. I’ll never forget it, it was awesome!
@@MrMetz2112 Thats awesome!
I dont know if they released different versions, but you can also upgrade to the 9051X and 9052X (F&R) and those are the ones I decided to go with. These dont have the sealed boots like the ones you showed, but they are more heavy duty.
How are they holding up for u I was debating to go with those axles or the tekno ones
@@LuisTorres-tm2jc honestly, they have been absolutely fantastic. Super low maintenance too as they don’t have the boots that have grease that if ever punctured just attract dirt and then destroy the joint. Highly recommend.
Just bought a Rustler a month ago and it has the heavy duty drive shaft and a bigger battery tray
Yeah I thought they would.
Thank you a lot of help
great video! i just bought a hoss. whats your next upgrade for the hoss? GTR Shocks?
I dont know. I have not really had time to run it. I've been so busy.
@@outsourcedrc ok. I Like your Videos. A lot of fun and interesting. Greetings from Germany 👍🏼
@@JP-jh7rv Thanks!
I'm trying to figure out what I got to do for tightening the center drive shaft in this those are axles so I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how tight it should be as in movement back and forth
I cant believe he found that lol
I know, right???
I do that to with a magnet! Its saved my day many times I you want to run bad enough you'll do whatever it takes
I've spent an hour looking for something in my yard that was made of plastic. I found it too.
By the way what parts or screws would you put lock tight on?
Just the ones that go into metal. Some screws come with it already on the threads like these do.
Jeez money trought the window
Holy smoke, do you have a UA-cam video for your flying? I watch flying video's too.
Well, thats the only one I have!. Its not my plane. I have a friend that has a Stearman
@@outsourcedrc I've been watching Trent Palmer and a bunch of the Bush type plane guys. They mostly fly KitFox . That was a very cool plane to get a ride in. I'll bet you were in Hogs heaven.
@@robertwren2289 It was awesome! I hope I get to fly it again.
👍👍👍Nice video!
i want to upgrade the latrax for my 8Y old son. I like a 1/10 or 1/16 4wd, budget 160usd. we just play at the front street of our house, but this summer i have spent about $160 in repair in that little t
latrax prerunner.
do you have any opinion about thes options:
1. 1/16 4wd erevo
2. 1/16 4wd slash
3. any other good brands you recommend where i can get a 1/10....nitrorcx?
i hope you can provide some advice!!!
thanks
I actually have the 1/16 E Revo. Thats a fun little RC. If you keep it stock, its pretty tough. The 1/16 Slash is pretty much the same as the 1/16 ERevo. The 1/16 Slash is on sale right now for $179 on the Traxxas website. Thats $20 more than your budget, but I think its worth it.
I dont deal with Nitro RC's anymore, so I'm out of the loop on those.
@@outsourcedrc many thanks for your response!
Are the nitrorcx similar quality or lower that traxxas but cheaper?
thanks again
@@alexherrera3918 I dont know enough about that brand. I was looking at getting one of their crawlers a while back. The one I looked at looked like it was a quality RC.
@@outsourcedrc ok thanks!!
can you do a video on replacing the center drive shaft pls
Its easy. Just take the rear off. See the rear shock tower? in front of the rear shock tower, on the chassis, there are several screws. Two of them are bigger than the rest. Unscrew them. Flip the RC over and look at the bottom on the rear. You will see two more screws that look just like the two you took out that hold the rear end on the chassis. Unscrew those two screws. Now the rear end will pull right off the rear. The clutch will also slide out of the rear. Now you can just pull the center drive shaft out and replace it.
Have you tried the 9051X and 9052X steel extra heavy duty driveshaft from Traxxas yet?
No I have not. Holy cow they are $40 per drive shaft lol
Great video I broke my front one to
Were you doing a lot of ollies?
Outsourced RC yes broke my back ones the other day as well lol
Outsourced RC but I did not lose my Bearings
i just reali: my bearing is missing also. the big inner one. anyone know what size it is?
The hoss shafts are stock on the Rusty for at least a year now I think.
Yeah. No one ever tells me these things lol. I wish Traxxas would let us know when they upgrade something
Can you just stretch your stampede 4x4 by just buying a hoss chassis?
I dont know. I dont have access to a Stampede 4x4.
I broke a shaft brother . I went with heavy plastic shaft by traxass . Like you said metal can be tricky
Why can the metal be tricky? Seems to me they would just be more heavy duty.
@@MrMetz2112 because it's intentional breaking point. When you replace it with metal axles they obviously aren't gonna break so you send the weak point down the line to the next underperforming part.
Hi, can you tell me please where i can buy those steel drive shafts for the rustler? or the name please. thanks
They are parts number 6851R. I got them from my local hobby shop.
@@outsourcedrc thanks mate
@@antoniosebastiao9276 No problem.
Where did you find that tool to find the bearing
Home Depot. This is it.

You never told us about your flying.
Its the first time I went!
Wish the driveshafts were not so expensive.
I know.
What tools will I need?
technically those are called half shafts and the drive shaft is in the center
yes I blew diff
how did you find that i was like mission impossible lol
I know, right? I just knew when it could have fell out.
Why won’t my car pop wheelies I got the hoss
i look for Hoss and get slash/rustler ;0(
Does anyone have a link to replacement drive shafts for the front of the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL? I would really appreciate it, because I can only find the rear drive shaft replacements.
here you go
www.amazon.com/Traxxas-TRA6851A-Driveshaft-Assembly-Extreme/dp/B07HJH6YZ4
It should never been plastic drive shafts on these traxxas 4x4 cars both 4x4 brushed and brushless cars
Can you link it
'
powerful brushless motor can destroy the traxxas parts...
normal 550 motor is better and no destroy it...
i have 3 traxxases are doing good models...
already in my channel...
also tamtrax is a great car
holly shit man are a billionaire?
