more driveshaft problems!!!!!!!!
hello, i am pis*ed off i have had the same problem with my SD driveshafts 3 times!. the cylinder in the end of the drive shaft consistently locks up which puts strain on the hub and snaps either the ring inside the hub seperating the bearings or snaps the actual hub itself. there are 3 SDs at my local club and all of them have had the same problem it has happend to all cars more than once, the first time it happend to mine bith sides locked up at the same time. this is OBVIOUSLY a design fault and i am not prepared to keep buying hubs. i have been told to sand down the cylinder with fine emery cloth and it will cure it. but why should i have to do that in my own time. yokomo should have tested this part to make sure it does not fail. who has had the same problem and can you send me an email. or post back. i am going to write to cml and see if there is a renewed design, if not then why?? and if one comes out, i want one for no cost.

It happened to me once, my buddy told me I needed to rebuild them(clean, relubricate).Get yourself some MIP CVD lube. It is the best. I rebuild mine every30-40 packs and never has any driveshaft problem.

I ran all their toruing cars for the last few years and never had that happen on any one of their cars. The alum. ones wear some but then they all do. Not sure why this eems to be happening.

i have cleaned and lubed them twice. somebody mentioned on a previous thread that when ran on carpet there is a lot of friction produced and makes the cylinder "friction weld" i dont know if this is true but i also race on polished wood and i never have the problem

A lot of us use the older Yokomo hardend universals, the rear fits with no problems, you just have to grind down the ball to the pins on the front ones to have proper clearance. These do not break and it takes a pretty good hit to even put a bend in them. They are a little on the pricy side but well worth the money.

thanx i was thinkin about using a different style of driveshaft, but i always see things like that as "bodged" even though it may work just as fine. I think that Yokomo should address the problem asap. thanks for your advice neway, i will probably end up doing that.
