Default 8ight 2.0T. Cvd's too short

This has probably been discussed in the previous 842 pages but I don't really have the time to read through it. Lol

I just bought this used truggy and I'm having problems with my rear cvd's poping out of the diff cup. Like if they are too short.

It has new arms and metal rear Losi hubs.

Any solutions?

Have you checked for a bent hinge pin? There has been a running change to the dog bones to make them 2mm linger.

New hinge pins and braces.

Was this on the buggy too?

I have never had my truggy's rear cvd pop out, but it's happened a few times on big jumps on my buggy.

A running change means they didn't stop production of the vehicle, they just started adding the longer driveshaft to the cars.

I'm not sure about the buggy since all I run is truggy. I'm talking dog bones, goes from the tire to the diff. CVDs go from the center diff.

Check to make sure the correct size pin was used to join the parts at the hub end. If one of the smaller diameter pins is used by mistake and the adjustments are just right it will allow the diff end to ride right at the end of the outdrive leading to it popping out.

Check the axe length. There was a run of axles that were put in the wrong packages and are about 2 mm shorter. I had this same issue when I went to the 10' Inclined spindles and hubs. Took them back to the LHS and found some were shorter in the same packages.
