It was time for a longevity upgrade. With more power the yokes were starting to take a strain. Now with these cvd’s they’re a little beefier at 6mm instead of the stock 5mm axle shaft. They also use bigger bearings so I don’t have worry about them seizing up as often.
EDIT: There are now versions specifically made the the Slash 4×4

XO-1 Cvd Axles Installed On Slash 4×4
I purchased all the parts in your parts list and what bearing do I use for the inside of the rear axle carrier? I purshased the 6455 axle carriers and the 10x15x4 bearing but they’re to big and the 6x12x4 are for the outside I assume. These were off the parts list but won’t fit??
Just wondering how much in total for upgrade?
Got it. Thanks. Nice job. Want to hook up my son’s car with him. This will be kool.
how does it perform though?
So you are looking at like $225 in parts? Shit, I bought my brushless 4×4 Slash for less than that. Unless I was racing for money or something that just doesn’t make sense. I will just keep replacing my factory parts every once in a while as they are so cheap anyway. From the looks of your rig you do compete, so that’s awesome.
Good video though, you do an excellent job of explaining and showing how to do the job.
what frame and motor setup is that? is there any true slash parts left there lol
beautiful parts..Nice !
Anyone know what kind of Dremel tool he used to carve the hexes at 4:30?
Those axles are pure crap
So much cool car and good work ????
What shocks ?
How did the xo-1 cvd would fit…thanks
Can you give me the part number for those A Arms. And are they the same part #for front and rear. Thanks Solid video.
