I never understood driveshaft phasing before today. I hope this helps.
I am adding a link to a short video that demonstrates what happens when a driveshaft is out of phase.

Thank you! This video solved my drive shaft issue on my rc. At first I thought the metal shaft was defective i was about to install back the stock plastic shafts. Good thing i came up with this video👍

Thank you. : ) It turns out you can't get the Gen7 driveshafts out if phase. The slip bearing will only assemble correctly. If you get it wrong it won't go together.

Much appreciated! My brother send me this, and it coincided with me messing around with driveshafts. I thought that it became worse, but dismissed it. Then I saw the video, went to see what I did, and sure, both are out of phase. 5 minute fix, but without videos like this I would not even consider looking.

See this video. It will demonstrate what your truck was actually doing. I just posted the fix without the background. : ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8qbZqWHqbysoWg.htmlsi=WlCEeOfn9D0iKqb6

I swapped axle casings on my mini z 4x4 and for the life of me I swore that I was having a mesh issue with the ring gears. Bought 3 sets and kept breaking the teeth on them. On a whim decided to tinker with the drive shafts because when the truck was fully compressed it drove fine and whatdayaknow both my drive shafts were put back together out of phase.

I also came upon this recently. IT looks like they are always misaligned on SCX24s, unlike they are in phase by chance 😉

Welcome. 🙂 I don't make videos to try to be popular or make a million bucks being a KZfaqr. I attempt to pass on tribal knowledge as I learn because I believe it helps the hobby. I love my Gen7 too. Its awesome. I have Portals and a Vader skidplate on it plus an SOA servo mount so I could retain the 4-link front suspension. : ) It punches far above its price point.

Have an scx24 thay has had phasing issues, shafts are in phase bit I still have the wobbles. Any ideas?

@EXPIOWA 3 жыл бұрын

Make sure the driveshaft is not rubbing on the upper front control link. There isn't enough gap on a lot of trucks. Also make sure your wheel nuts are not on so tight that they bind the axle.

no god! plz no! dont let me have to undo my driveshafts! ill be here all day!!! what are some of the side effects of a non phased drive shaft? ( I checked im good) The TRX4m they seem to do something different with the drive shaft where you don't have to worry about that at all. Or I cant see

This shows what can happen if itbis out of phase aside from being damaged more quickly. It is a short but really good video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8qbZqWHqbysoWg.htmlsi=z4Zlko_qDplF2RKB

How do I do an axial capra? Just line up the pins that hold the ends on?

@EXPIOWA 3 жыл бұрын

As long as the two outer flange yokes are aligned and are an exact mirror of each other in rotational position you are good.

@@EXPIOWA it doesn't have that kind of driveshafts. It's like a all with a pin then you slide it into a sleeve and put a screw through it

@EXPIOWA 3 жыл бұрын

Some Axial drivedhafts have the word AXIAL printed on both driveshaft halves. An easy way to ensure it is phased is to line the two halves up so both words are in line with each other.

Hi! I've run in to a problem which I thought was the driveshaft. My car runs unevenly and makes a popping sound. I watched this video and was sure this was the problem since my driveshaft didn't align. Took it apart and aligned it but it didn't help. Any ideas? Thank you!

As long as the ends are mirror images of each other its good. If you can't tell any other way, make sure the screws that go into each end of the driveshaft are aligned in a straight line. That will be phased.

@@EXPIOWA So im looking at my RC car from Furitek, right out of the box (no changes). Either someone did it wrong or thats how they intended it. They have it 90 off phase but both sides are mirror opposites of each other, it runs smooth. I know you mentioned that as long as one side is mirror image its fine but they have both sides mirroring each other with the same 90 off phase. Im just confused now. They have a picture of their drive shaft set up on the site.
