Now I'm searching for replacements and none are available. Not driving related as I rarely hit anything.
Is this a normal problem for these buggies? At $25 a pop this will be an expensive buggy to run.
Pick up some Spec R Racing front CVD's. They are excellent as the reduce chatter and are easier on your front diff. Improved steering control.
Much like a double cardone CVD's from Tamiya as well as Shumachers True CVD's.
Under 50 for a pair of assembled fronts. These will last you a long time.
