The only problem I would see is that the CF tends to wear a drill bit dull pretty fast. It might be tougher thatn it sounds. DOnt know though. Didnt try. I was able to jus start cutting at the loose fibers and get it down small enough to get it out with pliers. It was a PITA though.

Just a thought. Well if it rotates it will get pushed out easily or hopefully.

Ok guys i talked to mike and as always he seems to have the answer to my problems. he told me since hb and hpi are the same i could swap out the drive cups on the savage diffs with the hb ones this will allow me to use my cvds and i wont need to purchases new ones. i will be picking up plastic knuckles (i dont like the look of the shinney integy molded alu knuckles i ordered) and some of these diff cups and i will be back in business i would go with rpm but i am a little low on cash right now and i dont feel that i am going to break the stock ones but i will upgrade to rpm in the future though.

Here they are, just to make sure you buy the right thing:018:

thes second ones are the ones i am looking at/probably going to get(like the back better than the silver)

Gorilla, I wouldn't really recommend the RPM knuckles...The area around the bearings tend to wear out and cause play. Stick with stock or aluminum (I would recommend the RD Racing).

[GorillaMaxx360]

i will probably stick with the stockers how much are the 3,3 knuckles does anhybody know for 4

[squeeforever]

Ebay should be less than $10...

[Sylvester]

I saw a set of knuckles and driveshafts for 25 shipped on ebay. Pretty good deal. Too bad it ended.

[GorillaMaxx360]

is there any way to use sliders with hb diffs (dont think so but is there a converter that works and if not will there be one in the future)

[Sylvester]

There will be once mike comes out with the 1/8 scale diffs for the revo, it uses custom spiders so it will work with stockers.

WOW!!!!

now thats one heck of a truck!!! i love it!
