Good CVD suggestions?

I have been breaking CVD's like crazy. Anybody know of some good CVD's that cost around $60? My MMM and CC Neu on 5s is way too much for cheap Ebay CVD's. If anybody has suggestion please post a comment. Thanks

Whats better MIP or Traxxas? Traxxas ones seem better for bashing, but im still kinda lost i dont want to waist my money on carp.

Not sure about either Trx or MIP, but I do know that a carp will be far too floppy to be effective. Plus, the smell after a day or two will not be pleasant.

I use UE CVDs on mine and I still have to break any granted I'm running 6S. What suspension are you using?

Where can you get UE from though? I know UE is the best but i have yet to come across some CVD's. I am using the stock suspention with different shocks right now.

TRX CVDs I haven't had one fail me yet they wear slowly also. Mine have over 20 hours on them under 4s paired with a 2200kv MMM combo on a 11.5 pound Maxx.

Sweet thats what i was waiting to hear! Thanks so TRX 1, MIP 0

Lito (george16) is right UE reigns supreme but that likely is neither here nor there. MIPs pins fell out every run when I used to own them.

I'm going to most likely go with Traxxas. Sounds like its the second best (UE being the best) for now. I dont think i could put up with losing pins when i drive. Traxxas 2 MIP -1

About the MIP pins falling out: I'm not sure how they are built compared to 8th scale CVDs, but you can grind a shallow flat spot on the pin where the set screw pushes against. So, even if the screw loosens a tad, the pin will be more apt to stay in place.

Proper assembly goes a long way to making cvds work and last. Dry film lube is also a must.

I only have a few mip cvds, but they seem to be pretty good. Sometimes they use std hardware. Much better than the cheapo ebay cvds. I have a feeling either the traxxas or mip will do well.

On a side note my buddy has had a few issues with axial ax10 cvds from mip. The customer service has been great from him and they even sent him spares at no cost... Not sure if traxxas can beat that?

Heat shrink over the cvd will prevent pin from sliding out also.

If your breaking CVD's constantly maybe consider adjusting slipper clutch to actually slip ?

[Kcaz25]

I think he means to say that hes breaking the stock 3.3 sliders not true CVDs. Still perhaps a better slipper setup is needed. Great advice James.

I am actualy running metal CVD's and i cant ajust my slipper because then i destroy spur grears. Does any company still make 3906 slipper kits? Links? My slipper is as tight as it goes because of the spur grears melting.
