Where did you get the HD CVD?

http://www.shopatron.com/products/pr...1.1.0.0.0.0.0?

10% off code "CENDirect"

I always wonder how can the durability/strength be improved by increasing the ball end. Same thing happen to Savage drive shaft. they increase the ball end size from 9mm to 11mm. I think the wall thickness of the drive cups/outputs are just the same?

Look at how the shaft is narrowed at the end where it attaches to the ball on the middle standard CEN cvd. A larger ball has a larger area attaching it to the shaft = more strength.

Hd cvd pin is thicker and the cup is thicker as well, more mass I guess to spread shock over a larger area??
I'd assume cvd's usually fail at the ball and cup area.

How is the shipping from Cen I haven't heard many good things about them as far a getting parts shipped in a timely manor.

Not bad, I think it took a week. They are shipping direct from Taiwan I think it was.

A little info from Schulz:
"Hello,

... sure, in car mode a reverse gear is available.

Note: It is only allowed to use an inrunner motor for boat and car applications.

Best regards

"Hello,

You are in need for a future-xl-40.160 for 12s
or
a fut-xl-32.202 for 10s.

The future -l series is definitely NOT strong enough, you even should better use a future-xxl type.

Best regards
Matthias Schulze"

I've made a little progress, it's slow going though right now. My busy season is coming up and the new baby is keeping me busy! :)

Made some shock mounts:

What are some opinions on using one of these for the motor? Nice and secure it seems. It also looks like the rcm universal diff/motor mount is back in stock.
Anyone know if the rcm mount will accept m4 motor screws and the 1527 motor?

Can't wait to see your truck in action.

I have 2 motor mounts that I bought that is somewhat like the one in the link, but I think the RC-Monster center mount might be a better option. Make a thread here (http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6) regarding your questions for the center motor mount and I'm sure that Mike will help you make your truck a solid machine.

Posted, thanks Lutach!

Ordered the Universal RCM mount.
Mike is modifying it to allow the m4 motor screws.
Thanks Mike!
