Street Sport Rear Axle (inner half only)

thingiverse

Woe is me. I put in a bigger battery. With more battery comes more power. With more power comes more problems. I suppose I am continuing to find all the weak spots in my Traxxas Street Sport. Yesterday, it sheared (absolutely exploded) the inner axle. So, in response, I made this! You'll find an A version and a B version. The C version was a vertically oriented one, but you probably couldn't fit the steel yolk into the joint without shattering the part. A and B are just in two different orientations and are otherwise (nearly) identical. (I think one of them picked up a little artifact while I was adjusting it). I tested a rough draft of this yesterday, but at the very end of the drive, as I beckoned for the car to approach me, the test one exploded. I'm trying out a few improvements in these items, such as making the base of the joint significantly thicker (I have the room, why not?).
