Making due with the 4mm output shaft on a Traxxas 1/16 scale transmission .

I decided to use a 1/16 scale Traxxas transmission in a project I wanted to start and was  surprised I was having trouble finding a shaft from a different application to bring it all together. So like a lot of things the project grinded to a halt and all the part sat and collected dust . 

Then a  mere few minutes ago.

 This picture jolted my interest .

    

What is this what could it be ? Output yokes , 1/10th scale size output yokes on a Traxxas 1/16th scale transmission .
 Following the trail to
lead me to fact that Part #  1539 for the Traxxas Villian IV Has a 4mm shaft hole and mates perfectly with the Traxxas 1951 driveshafts.



So I have a set of these on their way to me and just maybe they work as I hope they will and I will be on my way to finishing my Low cost crawler that maybe closer to a monster truck in the end .

Phoenix Hp22 hp25 wood grips from www.my2ndright.com

I purchased These grips from Ebay but the gentleman who made them also sells them on his website www.my2ndright.com. The pictures on Ebay and on the site make the grips look very attractive .



Over all I am very happy that with the grips . The fit is excellent in my opinion requiring no filing or modifications of anytype .

They do swell the width of the grip area and have a contour at the edges that make the grip feel less blocky .


 I wouldn't say they are better than my  hogue grip sleeve that I have installed on my silver model as I feel  It does offer a surer and firmer grip .



But I find myself thinking that the wood grips would be better for someone thinking of using the HP25 as a pocket carry,conceal carry , etc  or if you're like me and just like how they look .
