Made a cvd tonight out of and lst1 driveshaft. Cut the center out and made a cvd shaft 70mm long fron the center of the ball end to the center of the drivepin on the bone end. Fits nicely, could have gone up to 72mm before it would bind in the cup at full up travel. Welded together with a mig, this stuff is hard, but when I got it hot the metal welded very well.

Well, I think the rear shocks need 1/4" or so of fuel tubing to limit the up travel. Right now the suspension can go up enough to get the cvd in a bind at the drive cup. So I will do that before running it again.

I also put revo outputs in the pede 4x4 diff, so I could use 6mm bore drivecups from a revo. Straight drop in mod. I did notice the diffs are not the newest revo spec units with the center support. They are the older original revo diffs. Not likely to be an issue, but there is upgrade potential there.

And before anyone asks, I doubt I can fit a lst diff in there!!!

Just waiting on the 12mm endmill, so I can properly mod the other hub. Then I will check that side and make another driveshaft. I have a feeling I will have the inner bearing seated in a bit more so the cvd shaft may end up longer. Not a problem, as the current parts are prototypes and can be modded if necessary.
