Looking for a 95-96mm dogbone?
 

For my Hyper 1/7 conversion I'm reversing the center diff and would like to make sure there is enough room for a 85mm length motor (aka 1717).

I could run the existing 92mm (total length is 99m) dog bone if I use fuel tubing to act as bushings to center the dog bone between the front diff cup and the center diff cup. Just trying to see if there's a better fit.

The rear dogbone is already 160mm so its huge. I don't want to go much further back as the existing 92mm dogbone won't center properly and could cause issues.

Pin to Pin its about 92mm buy my micrometer. I'm guessing a 95 or 96mm pin to pin length would give me what i need.

I found Kyosho PN# KYOIF143B, which is listed as a 95mm dogbone, but I don't know if thats total length or Pin to Pin. If total length it would be too short, as the Hyper 1/7's front dogbone is already 99mm total length. Looks kinda like it might not hold up to 1717 torque though with that weird step in the shaft.

NM. Score. Turns out an old X1 Buggy front Driveshaft works just fine! Its even a CVA to boot!

This leaves me with 88mm from the front of the center diff bulkhead to the bellcrank. Plenty of room for a 1717!!!

SCORE! Now i can drill/countersink the holes finish it up so its a complete electric conversion roller just ready for the electronics. :yipi:

Now the CVA I have is a little used, its got quite a bit of play so I'll need to order another one but that it fits is most excellent!
