MIP CVD destroyed??

[GriMM]

I just got my metal pede up and running tonight, and not 5 minutes after playing withing it in the street i sheared off one of the MIP dogbones.

Anyone else have a problem with the shiny cvds? These ones were fresh out of the package, first time i ran them i broke one :M:

Maybe there are better quality metal dogbones out there?...Im only using an ss5800

I would look at a few things, such as the suspension movement. If the too much travel is allowed in the suspension , the cvd will bind in the cup and cause this to happen. That is rather disappointing to hear, though. I bind in the suspension or a severe flex in a suspension arm (which would also cause a bind) would be the culprit I suspect.

don't feel bad, in my t-maxx, i shredded the end (the CVD end) of an RDlogics which everybody gives outstanding ratings too. I upgraded to UE (which cost an arm and a leg i might add)

Whatever the case may be...does MIP have any sort of warranty on their products"? I got the cvd set new in package from an ebay vendor.

If the vendor is an actual hobby shop, they may be able to go through their distributor to claim or at least try to claim a manufacturers defect. It is worth a try. Either way, it won't happen overnight. Try to contact MIP directly.
