While I have been building up "Project Sleeper" (my 2012 Traxxas Slash 4x4 Platinum Edition LCG) I have come across many upgrade parts that the Slash 4x4 needs. These MIP Race Duty aluminum CVD's really impressed me with not only the product quality, but the fit and function. Top that with the "Made in USA" and top notch customer service, that I already received, and you have a great product! In this video, I go over what's included in each kit, how it looks installed and a quick weight comparison on the stock plastic driveshafts. Here's where I got them and some info from MIP: MIP Race Duty CVD's - Front http://miponline.com/store/mip13105.html MIP Race Duty CVD's - Rear http://miponline.com/store/mip13115.html Traxxas is "The Fastest Name in Radio Control," and MIP has just thrust that catch phrase closer to reality! In the past, MIP has offered a range of axle designs including steel shaft CVD™'s for racers and heavy steel splined X-Duty™'s, for those that drive on the edge of insanity! But what is missing from MIP's ultimate line- up!? Well the answer to that question is easy, Race Duty! MIP's all new Aluminum Race Duty™ line of axles are a CVD™ design comprised of light weight hard-anodized aircraft grade 7075 aluminum bones designed for less rotating mass, along with a strong steel X-Duty™ axle for durability/strength. This fusion axle is strictly designed for two-cell Lipo batteries under both bashing and racing conditions! Aluminum Race Duty™ can insure that your Traxxas truck has the acceleration to pull away and stay ahead of your competition! Get the edge, "The MIP EDGE!"
