They are double cardan joint drive shafts (There are two joint points). so each joint point has less refractive angle that will kill the chatter problem w/spool.
Here is the part number and the price.
#67699 DCJ Drive Shaft Set (1pc)
Retail Price: $38.00
*This item is pre-assembled set with dog bone, center coupling, axle and pins.
Thanks,

What are some other battery strap options besides using tape? Anyone make something, like a velcro strap?

You could use other options but really good strapping tape is the best. I use the black intertape and I use one piece for a full day of racing. Not all tape is created equally. I hear that the Hudy tape is really good too.

I'm just looking for something more permanent and that doesn't peel off the sticker on my lipo.

I have seen some folk fit the xray battery strap to there cyclone and it seems to work ok but i think you need to drill the chassis

I have used the posts and battery strap from a cyclone s, can be used for either style of battery packs,only need to drill 2 small holes for the mounting screws for the posts,cheers.

I have filled the battery slots with about 5oz of weight and I run the TP 40C pack flush with the right hand edge to get even balance... it's within 5 grams of being right on, and about 10g over the 1525 limit (I'll do the same with my next chassis, but do some alum/titanium upgrades to get down to the '09 1500 ROAR limit).
Filling in the slots was the tricky bit:
- tape up the bottom of the chassis with battery tape nice and tight
- used about 2oz of tungsten power, mixed with 30 minute epoxy (produces about the same density as lead)
- in each battery slot I embedded a tungsten plate in the epoxy mixture (solid plates are 1.5 times the density of lead)
- let dry over night, and pull off tape
Here's where to get the stuff:
6-plate pack - http://maximum-velocity.com/tungstenplates.htm
tungsten power - http://maximum-velocity.com/tungstenpowder.htm
The nice part of this solution is that your weight is super low. I've been running that for 3 months on all kinds of carpet tracks, with great success.

Try the IRS balance buttons. #IRS3020 - they make chassis balancing much easier.
