Which Revo Center CVD fits the Hot Bodies Pinion Cup? - RC-Monster Forums

You have the hb cup correct? It is 8mm, as is the pinion shaft (makes sense as they are designed to fit together). The ths cvds have a larger ball than a std revo/maxx cvd. You could drill the included ths cup out to 8mm and us it in place of the hb cup. Not sure if there is enough material left for the set screw to hold though. Nothing like a little "interface" issues to really get you aggrevated, huh?!

Uh huh

The THS cups use a smaller set screw and the cups are longer. I think that would bring other issues, even if I am able to drill them. That's some really hard stuff.

My first thought was to drill the HB Cup to 9mm where the ball goes. Titanium barely scratches it, so I stopped after just scratching it. LOL

Mike just told me the Savage Cups use the larger CVD balls. In looking around, I notice there are two different sizes of them.

Will this one work?

That's the wrong picture. Take a look at the "purchase screws separately" link. Those are 5mm thread.

Not too sure, I can ask my lhs buddy tomorrow to check and see if he has a savage cup floating around. I used a savage diff in my center diff revo but changed out the outputs for mikes cusom outputs. I can check the old savage cups from that diff to see if they will fit the ths cvds I have. My cvds are for a maxx, but they definately have a larger ball on the end, so hopefully they are the same size as yours. I will do this tomorrow morning when I get to work and post my findings.

Last week, I bought a new JVC 30 Gig hard drive Camcorder and a Tripod. Cool Camcorder, even has a remote control.

I plan on it!

Ok, after visiting my local hobby shop, I learned some things.

The Savage cups do NOT fit the THS cvd's, but I did a new set of cvd's that do.

The RD Logics Revo CVD's do fit the Hot Bodies cups. They have the 8mm ball on the end and not the 9mm.

So we're back in business again.
