I have had two set of outdrives actually chip and chunk away on the breaking side in the last two weeks. Never have had this happen in three years of owning 6 different kyosho buggies. After 2 packs the third set had paint chips missing already so several "100%" team drivers looked at my setup and suggested my rear arms were shimmed too tight. The thought was the dogbone had no play in its angle and was slamming the outdrive too directly.
Hope this suggestion helps as this was beyond a normal "wear item" fo sure.

Well I don't think the pins are to hard as they get flat spots quickly. But diff out drives chipped on my zx5 fs2sp first race day. Replaced them with a spare set and its been a year and no chips...

I know kyosho has had am issue with these on there 8th scales with over hardening them.
They seem to fix it with the next batch. I'm running stock and have not had an issue

I was recommending swapping around the diff and swing shafts per-emptivly to smooth out wear on both sides. Once the wear mark even STARTS to get a notch, they are due for replacement.

for the outdrives and cvds, do you guys use grease? Specifically which kind?
Some nitro onroad racers only use bearing oil and apply it each run as it does not gather dirt.
Please inform.

In the "joint" itself very little grease and generally the "kit" stuff. No grease is typically used in the slots of the drives or on the pins however I have seen it done. It takes a ton of driving to wear out pins it's not a concern to me. Chipping Iv'e had was not wear related.

i never had a premature wear problem with the outdrives or the pins or the cvds in any of my k cars. i also run my cars more then the average person. the only thing i ever use to lubricate my cvds and out drives is mothers California gold car wax. it keeps things moving freely and tends to not collect alot of dirt. i just apply it reassemble the parts and let the excess spin off by itself. the only outdrives that i have chipped are the fronts on my 4wd when i over flex the arm do to a ruff landing and pop out a bone.
