LST2 CVD on Savage?

And after putting a set of hd savvy dogbones in I have a feeling they are stronger than the lst cvds. Maybe the cen genesis cvd would be a better choice?

I have seen some savvy owners put the complete cen arm assys on their trucks, wider and stronger.

I still think the lst is a better truck, and if you want cen stuff just buy the whole cen trcuk as it is just like a giant savvy anyways. Very similar designs. Just my take on it all.

Maybe the pin can be secured using something else. This guy tried using o-rings to secure the pin. http://www.rctech.net/forum/monster-...cvds-maxx.html.

As for the length, I really hope someone could help on the dimensions of the cvd. Mistercrash has been successfully using these cvds on the e-revo after shortening the axle by drilling another hole for the pin that goes into the hexes. and he did 100 backflips using these cvds with 6s and they are still perfectly ok!

I have read about the SHD dog bones and the cups cracked with 6s. They are strong but not as strong enough. Maybe because of the material or the temper processes since the diameter of the SHD dogbone and LST2 cvd shafts are both 5mm.

Thanks linc. I have read your feedback on lst and savage. I do agree but I think I'll keep my savage as I have bought too many hop-ups for it :(
