Check this out. New center shaft alternative

[RJUK]

Right wear ya want the center shaft able to flex
Put a bearing
Perfect

Best choice ever

So this was sarcasm? But I don't see why. The design seems good to me and has been proven to work so far.

Also, yours being straight proves nothing. This mod is for those who jump their X-Maxxes very high. I would suggest it's not worth bothering with if you've not bent your stock one, unless you want to build the truck to cope with anything in anticipation of doing big jumps.

The chassis is pretty rigid, and to bend the driveshaft you'd have to make it flex a fair bit, so that's going to take a pretty hard landing.

I’d say more than one opinion is warranted here. I know you’ve been at this a while, but you’re(nor is anyone one person) the end all, be all for source for all others in the hobby. You could keep and open mind and read others experiences, and learn from them.
Sarcasm is angers ugly cousin. Name the movie

I was skeptical myself as well but had a neighbor that has am xmaxx 8s and he bent his driveshaft 2 times jumping some high jumps. So I made him one of the center driveshaft braces with bearings and he has been jumping the same high jumps and is telling me no issues yet after 4 days straight.

I don't know if I can get in toruble for offering these on here but I am making some cool parts for the Xmaxx and selling on facebook group.
