yea you need more then a day though. They look great though. Quality pieces.

Michael#81 01-05-2009 03:10 PM

Those do look pretty sweet.

The big thing is how will they hold up under normal racing conditions and for how long. I have bent a couple of the MIP steel ones in the last couple of weeks by landing wrong on the big Triple at our local track.

I will be getting a set to try out and see how they work.

Our prototype shafts have been on the tracks (high bite, blue groove, loamy and blown out) for the past 5 months. They were designed for the stock/super stock racer in mind but have been holding up to 19 turn and lower mods with no breaks. The production shafts are even stronger than the prototypes. I have spent a good deal of time working on these shafts so that they do not disappoint. Thanks for all the kind comments everyone

Chris Jarosz 01-05-2009 05:11 PM

I ran a set of the production ones with a 7.5 last night and they were fine. Very lightweight too.

AC Driver 01-05-2009 07:55 PM

thanks chris glad they worked out good for you. give me a call tomorrow and let me know what you find out.

AC Driver 01-06-2009 07:49 AM

Tues. morn bump:)

CCristo 01-06-2009 08:39 AM

Those look very nice. Any chance of adding another 2 or 3 sets of holes for the CVD pin so the bone can still be used once the CVD pin holes start to wear?

AC Driver 01-06-2009 08:57 AM

The second/thirs pin hole idea has been thought about and may happen pending testing. Thanks for your compliments and interest!

AC Driver 01-06-2009 01:09 PM

All orders as of 12pm PST have been shipped via USPS. Thanks to all who have ordered so far. Enjoy!

AC Driver 01-07-2009 07:33 AM

AC Driver 01-07-2009 02:23 PM

I am proud to anounce that http://speedtechrc.com and http://ultralinehobbies.com now carry our products. You can purchase from either of them or direct.

AC Driver 01-08-2009 07:39 AM

this batch of shafts are almost sold out. More are in the works but it will be a bit. get yours now!
Thanks to all who have purchased them already.

Wild Cherry 01-08-2009 09:37 AM

Any possibilities you could machine a "universal" dogbone for Rc10B4 ?

The extra traction a universal provides would be very use full compared to a lighter CVD...

I'd like to see this too.

AC Driver 01-08-2009 10:31 AM

The universals have been a thought as well. Price is a big factor on that one though. Ideas are plentiful but we are just starting out so as soon as the funds are flowing, more products WILL follow.
Thanks for all the ideas. I am open to any and all (reasonable) suggestions. :nod:

AC Driver 01-09-2009 07:46 AM

fri. morn bump.

These are the wide rear bones i assume ?


anyways i think also the front lazer sp/fs dogbones would be good as well. those wear out quick.

badassrevo 01-09-2009 10:43 AM

Please let me know when the T4 ones with the extra pin hole will be available.

The RB shafts will be for the mid arm conv. As for the 4wd, that is a though but we will be concentrating on 2wd buggy and truck first.

T4 shafts are next for production. The protos are out there being run. I dont want to rush things with them but it should be soon.

I know I have said it before but thanks so much for all the suggestions and support.

JDriemeier 01-09-2009 09:42 PM

I will keep an eye on this thread for cva shafts for the b4 so that i can use the same axles in both b4 and b44?

Not sure if we are going to do the CVA shafts, I dont think they will be durable enough just because of their design. Not going to rule them out though.

LOL, Then why you driving a CR.

I liked the Losi for about 5 min. That car is just too fragile and push's like a dump truck. Go get a B4 or that dirty word "Kyosho" :lol:

LIVipers 01-12-2009 04:30 AM

The push just takes a little getting used to. Plus mine has actually taken a lot of abuse.

I had not planned on anything for losi only because they have their own aluminum universals and I dont know anyone that uses a cvd on a losi anymore. I guess if the demand is there then yes we would. I guess we will just have to see.

Dan/Ultraline 01-12-2009 11:58 AM

The new CVs just arrived and look great.:nod:

I have not heard anything from all the people that purchased the shafts for the crcrc race. Did everyone get them already? Thoughts?
Thanks
Chris

I received mine for the t4 and b4. I ran between twelve to fifteen packs in each vehicle. The shafts performed great. There was no issue Guys, this is a great product and dont hesitate to try for yourself.:nod:

Michael#81 01-19-2009 07:52 PM

I have ran mine in my B4 for th past 2 weekends and they have been great. It looks like i have hardly used them and they have held up very well.

I ran them on a really high bite track to see if I could try and break them and ended up ripping an Idler gear out of the tranny instead. This is a very tried and true product as far as I am concerned.
