I got mine from Ebay... not sure if this is the same seller or not though:

The axles on those X Spede's are pretty thin in diameter compared to a 3Racing or MIP cvd. I also ended up bending one of my outer shafts too. But that was my fault. It happened a while ago when I was running my MI on a 10th scale touring car track and hit the rail kinda hard. I switched back to my 3Racing cvd's. I noticed too with the X Spede's and the wider track, the turning radius increased. So turning wasn't as sharp.

That kinda sucks. I have the Trinity adapters but i wanted something that would give the lugs a little more length. Touring sedan wheels with sticky tires makes an amazing difference on asphalt.

That's one of the reasons why I bought the X Spede adapters, cause the axles were longer and I wanted more threads to secure the wheel when using touring car slicks. When I went back to the 3Racing cvd's I just used a little LocTite on the wheel nut. Seemed to work ok.

Good to know. Thanks for the help. Guess I'll just keep my Trinity adapters.

Ya.. save your money for some other hopup part(s). Use a little bit of (blue) LocTite and have some extra wheel nuts handy.

I bought the kit also but didn't know it was for the buggy and not the truck. DOH!
