hms Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've managed to pop the rear driveshaft from the yoke. Could somebody please advise how to get it back together? I can't find any guide online and the only way I can see to sort it is to bend the plastic so the cross pin fits back in the housing. Thanks for any help... My little lad is gutted.

bert uk Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 not sure about that one,however this is what ive done to mine,i put shrink tube round the joins so if they do pop ill find the bits.and it also keeps them clean too.just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hms Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I can't even figure why it popped. Was driving on short grass with just a small brick by our tent (we are on a camping holiday) as an obstacle. There's a slight scratch on the outer of the housing but no stress marks or cracks.

Tamiyacowboy Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Torque has forced the plastic lugs to expand and hence the cross pin pops out, this is more better than what used to happen to traxxas sliders , those would twist up on the plastic shafts itself and ruin a lotta the drive line. simple way is tease apart the lugs and slip the cross pin back into place.

hms Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks, I was worried doing that would snap the plastic. Will give it a go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hms Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Fixed it using brute force and ignorance. Have a feeling it'll be more prone to popping out now though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hms Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Is there a hop-up driveshaft I could buy that is not susceptible to this? Sorry for the bone questions. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Have a look at the junFac site you'll need the measurements for the prop shafts but they do make one that fits the scout.http://www.junfac.com/shop/?main_page=index&cPath=27 If I can find my old drive shafts I'll have a measure up for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunm Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sorry chap looked through all my old spares can't find the props, however if you measure them off the scout you need the compressed size and max telescopic extension size then have a look at junfac and you should find the correct one!

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk any of the ones that will fit axial scx10/ax10/wraith/deadbolt will work on the scout you can get them from asiatees or even ebay if you want them quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
