Holy bent CV, Batman!!! :gasp:

How on earth did you manage that?

P.S. Those wheels/tires are OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERSIZE!! :gasp: Makes the suspension look like its made of tooth picks. Something tells me these had something to do with the bent CV...

:grrrrrr:

Its borderline to short..... once it bowed FUBAR'd itself

what CVs are you running?

MIP yea

I need some driveshafts that have some mass behind them

I think the problem you are having is two fold.
1. the MIPs are not very strong
2. they are a little short and you aren't compensating enough with the pillowball depth

What I think is happening is that they come half out of the drive cup, then all hell breaks loose.

UE CVDS would solve your problem, but of course they are out of stock today. eta on more is 30 days.

Until then, straighten that mip with a hammer and block of wood and screw the pillowballs in deeper.

See this photo, notice the depth of the drive shaft in the drive cup. That's what you are looking for.

Is Robin still making cvds? Then I need 17mm adapters.


I can wait for the right parts!

If you have a way of contacting him, please let me know. I have emailed him before with no response.

I am Robin.

I answer all messages. If I didn't, it didn't get thru for some reason. sales [at] ueusa.net

We are making CVDS up now and will be on the 17mm hexes in the near future.

:party: I didn't know that!!!! I will definitely buy a set when they are ready! Love your parts! Have you ever seen a plastic bulk E-Maxx with racer x arms?

Pillow balls are all the way in and the MIPs are still short. Ofcourse I bowed them with the old wheel setup. My truck should be bullet proof after this.... Exception being the bulks.

I believe I have 6mm axles?

Have you heard of 4340 super therm chromoly drill rod?

drill rod is very brittle and would not be suitable for this application

It was a suggestion from my lhs...

Would it be possible to leave a little extra meat on the bones when you machine my set?
