LST2 CVD on Savage?

[josh9mille]

i converted my LST to LST2 spec, and though the LST2 axles are 100% better than the earlier ones, I still bent, rebuilt, and replaced the axles a few times and that was with a nitroburner. With the LST axles it was broken pins all the time, with the LST2 axles it was making the holes bigger that the pin goes through. I like dogbones better, much simpler.

That is a cvd issue, the crosspins are often harder than the cvd body, causing wear to the body. No fixing that, save for a complete overhaul of the design.

The pins really need to be bigger and ride on a replaceable bronze bushing that is honed to a set clearance and greased. Sealed up tight would be good too.
