This is an easy, semi-permanent solution to the driveshafts falling apart on the TRX-4M due to the o-rings not being able to hold the pins in. It is cotton thread wrapped in the slot and glued in place.

Nice. You should trademark this as the “fly tying” method of driveshaft repair.

Shrink tubing is easier!!!

Sure it is. This is just a way to fix it if you don't have any or don't want to take the driveshafts off.

How about just fill that gap with shoo goo or some type of caulking

@johntimbes6510 Жыл бұрын

That might work, as well! Even easier than my method, just let it dry overnight.

I haven’t had any problems with mine (knock on wood😂) when is this happening? I play with mine only inside

I've only read about it on forums and on Facebook. Some people have theirs come off the very first drive. I suspect it's whenever anything contacts the driveshafts, like crawling on big rocks. I decided to do this fix so I don't have to worry about it.

(I put white PTFE THREAD SEAL TAPE OVER THE DRIVE SHAFT AND RUBBER RING. )SO WHAT CAUSES THEM TO FALL OUT. IM JUST GOING TO USE MY TRX 4M for trailing with a little crawling at times. Also I Have Thread lock glue would that work.

I think they get caught on things or dry out and crack.
