    Someone double check my order

    So i just picked up a used mini v. Im looking to keep it cheap (under $100) I would like to stay brushed maybe a 480 but i still gotta find a reasonable ESC. Im not running Lipo. Anyway Im keeping the outdrive but i just want to change the prop shaft.

        No. It will need to be balanced.

        I used a 1/8 prop shaft (the one you list is a 4mm - slightly bigger in the strut or outdrive then reduced to 1/8 for the prop)
        The one I used was This.

            Ahh. Ok. Use the one you selected, you may have to enlarge the outdrive bore to accept it.

                    I run a 430 or 431 on mine stock, plastic.

                    I use an octura 1/18" prop shaft and replace the u joints with .093 flex cable, but keep the 3mm solid drive shaft. Cheap conversion that way, I had to do 6 of them!

                      Ordered up the prop and the shaft along with a new u joint. Mine was all rusted. had to drill it out to get the old prop shaft out. Looks like its staying this way for now but i wanna run the mini car hardware in the future. I found it on there website, i just gotta pair it all up.
