DIRT BUSTER

Hi all,

I have the xray t2, everything has been great, today i put on 2nd hand swaybars, when i turn left or right slowley the wheels vibrate really bad, i put it on a stand and when you pull throttle at slow pace straight no problem, but then when you turn it starts to bounce and vibrate really bad, nothing seems to be touching any of the bars and it is really frustrating....

not sure what to do

please help - i have taken the swaybars off same thing happens

which t2 is it?

the cvd or cups is whats making it vibrate... it doesnt do it when its on the track and the weight of the vehicle is on the suspension... only when the suspension is at full droop on a stand and you hit throttle....

the 008's are known for this.... they elimated it on the 009's by using a c hub...

thats normal and does not affect handling. This has been spoken about on the Xray forums and if you wish to fix it (not really an issue though in my opinion) you can purchase the upgrade ECS's from Xray. That takes away the vibration you are speaking of.

ECS's is the upgraded out drives that came on the 009's correct?

Well this is nothing unusual - use graphite grease on CVDs it will help to slightly reduce vibrations. On the track it doesn't affect handling that much as it looks on the stand. One solution is also mentioned ECS.

ECS is double joint driveshaft and they aren't included in 009.

i guess if i ever break a front drive I'll replace with these ECS drivs since theres only $25 difference for the set....

these are the ones that came with the 009's and also reduce rotationg weight and vibration....

i am using these ecs with spool in the front with my t2 007
it surely does the work, there is no vibration at all

The vibration only comes from using a spool/one way in the from correct?

This particular issue doesn't have anything to do with a spool. It has to do with the design of the Xray CVD's, and the angle the steering/wheels are at. High steering angles on stock Xray CVD's will encounter the vibration.

Ever tried using a swivel joint on your 1/4" socket wrench at high angles? This is exactly whats happening on the Xray.

yeah, it is kinda expensive which is the reason why i have yet to purchase a set for my 009. The guys that have purchased the new ecs' say they work perfect.

like you said, if you ever break the front then purchase them...as I will do as well.

and that was directed to hound_dog about the pricing...
