Brads442 19 Posted January 24, 2016 I need to replace the old drive shafts in my vintage Fox. I drive this car, so I need something better than the factory shafts if possible. Can anyone tell me what re-release versions will work in the Fox? I have been searching on eBay and can't really find anything. Thanks in advance!

HunterZero 76 Posted January 25, 2016 You should be able to use the Nova Fox dogbones/half shafts/outdrives, as long as you use the original C circlips.The Nova Fox uses thicker E clips to retain the half shafts in the gearbox output bearing, and has deeper bearing recesses to accommodate. So worst case scenario you will need to replace the gearbox halves and use the thicker E clips with the new dobgone set.- James 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

europro975 75 Posted February 8, 2016 Hi Max, What part do you require the length for; Drive Shaft, Gearbox Joints or Wheel Axles? Antony Tony's Tamiya Parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mynameisdannyowens 61 Posted February 9, 2016 I went the other route and snapped up two sets of NOS vintage drive shafts to keep my old Fox original and future proofed - I love the look of the chunky old drive shafts with their big rubber boots 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
