Default Xray T3 Bent Driveshaft

Hi guys,

I have recently bought an Xray T3 and noticed the the wheel on the left front is buckled but all I can find is the driveshaft looks slightly bent (dog-bone part).
Could this cause the wheel wobble I'm noticing?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Liam

Most likely the wheel has gone
Stick a new set on if still the same the bearings in the hub may have exploded

Swap the driveshaft side to side and see if the problem swaps to the other wheel.
I use to twist T3 driveshafts on a regular basis!

No plastic wheels will ever be completely true but sounds like your car has had a fair impact on that corner. Drive shaft will straighten but check your bearings and if needs be get some new wheels/tyres
