Dumb question but......Are you guys using a fixed or one way center pulley with a spool in the front?

so my spool's drive cups are getting worn BAD. I dunno how much longer it can take it but they are probably gonna have to get replaced soon. I tried putting some Tc5 CVD blades in...waste of money. The blades were too big for the cup. Id have to dremel out more material from the drive cup to widen the slot to get the blade to fit, and even then i think it would still bind cuz it sticks out a little...
booo. I have a hara cyclone and judging from the talk here, it appears i have a v2 spool?

Are you using the anti wear grease which came with the spool on the dogbones?
On mine there is very little wear, i try to put grease on after every meet, but often its a couple of meets before i bother.
I do however think there is a fair amount of slop developing in join by the pin between the center part of the spool and and the cups. I dont think the design of the joins was the best idea.

Get the version 3 spool and replace drive cups as needed.Also put some grease on the end of the bone going into the cup to reduce wear.I have run the ver.3 spools for almost a season.Very little wear.

as far as i know there isnt any grease there. I was unaware of the grease as i didnt build the spool, i just used it...
Theres a decent amount of slop there now cuz of the wear, and even the tips of the bones that go into the drive cup are starting to flatten out...
can i get a link to a ver.3 spool?

i hope the new ones are stronger hehe..I am also cheap about diff blades, the solution is TC5 diff blades, its 3-4$ for like 4 sets of blades, you just have to use your body reamer and ream the holes out, because the HB's CVD pins are bigger
But for the new diff, it might of changed, I dont think so.... STLNLST???

I only use anti wear grease for the front bones for the spool. The rear uses blades and I have yet to get any outdrive wear from a set of blades on any car I have run. Blades if anything helps prolong out drive life and if you keep an eyen on your blades then everything should be alright.

It should be a really fun weekend.You know if Billy is spraying this weekend at all?What about the last couple racedays?I have worked out a setup that works on a track that has little to no spray on it.The traction at Norcal is really good when the track is not sprayed.The Spec tires work well too.LMK!
