Default rc18b2/t2 front diffhub question

On my rc18b2 when ever I turn left or right the one dogbone always sometimes pops out of the diff hub. Or else spins stripping slowly stripping out where the dog bone sits. Is there anyone that makes longer hubs to prevent this from happening?

I used the Hot Racing steel outdrives with the MIP CVD's front and rear, and although the CVD's are close to the ends of my outdrives they have never come out on me after 2 years of use. I should note the outdrives are for the gear diffs, so if you are running gear diffs you may want to check them out for added durability. You might also check your shocks and arms to make sure you don't have too much droop.

On mine something is definitely wrong. I have a 2mm piece of fuel line in the hub carrier side as a spacer to shift over the dog bone a bit and it still is barely in and pops out and spins. Gonna take it all apart its weekend.

Get the MIP Shiny Drive CVDs. Fixes that problem permanently. CVDs are almost always a better choice than dogbones anyway.
