Default Can steel CVD's cause loss of...

My friend has a T-Maxx 2.5 with an OS .18TM and he just bought MIP center CVD's and Traxxas steel CVD's for the outdrives. Can going with steel CVD's cause a big power loss for even an OS .18TM? We don't know for sure weather its the added weight of the steel CVD's, I wouldn't know because I have been using titanium CVD's which weigh lighter than the stock plastic shafts. It used to wheelie like crazy, but now it just runs like a dog!

Thanks Systemlord.

No they wont cause a power loss. If anything you should gain some power because of less resistance and the weight is more centered. I installed all MIP cvd's on my Picco powered max and noticed no loss so it should be no problem for the os engine.

Bump, does anybody else have anything to add? This guy needs convincing so I need some more opinions, thanks.
