On the front cv driveshaft on my Losi 8t there's a shinny spot on the cv where it's been touching the a- arm I can't seem to figure what's causing this becuase the driveshaft is not bent I'm a little confused

Could be a number or things.

1st - Lump of dirt or something got stuck in there for a bit and wore the paint off.


Thats just what I think without really seeing pictures of it. If you have some pictures we could give you a definite answer probably.

Just sounds like a rock got logged in there for a sec, I dont see the arm bending that much with out breaking.

If it's wearing close to the couplers from the Diff then its rubbing the coupler edges when you get full commpression on your shocks.

I have that on my Dogbones on my 8 2.0

The a-arms don't have that much flex hitting the bones.

I don't drive a Losi, but on my D8 the drive shaft gets shiny cause light contact w/ the shock retainer. Just a thought. It doesn't cause any problems tho.

I get the same spots from time to time. No big deal.
