I am running everything stock and it seems like the rearend is gripping too much even when using pvc tires! I can not turn at all at about medium throttle, the car continues to slide straight, even with the front wheels turned to the side. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Is this possibly just that the rear end is so heavy when compared to the front end? Thanks.

The metal pin that goes in my Tamiya Steel CVDs snapped in half and got jammed in my hubs. The one that is tightened down by the hex screw that connects the dogbone to the thread drive shaft that the wheel bolts onto.

I fixed replaced the the pin. I thought it was caused by stress I just stuck an EZrun into my car.

I picked up the car and and tested out the car and the car runs smooth until I test the steering. Everything runs smooths while turning except the left side looking at the front of the car.

The wheels vibrates like crazy and you can feels the vibrations byt he sound it makes in your ear flabbing around at throttle.If the car steering is neutral(going straight) then it's fine. It only vibrates wildly when I turn half way down.

I checked everything. Everything seems fine. My dog bones seems a bit rough when t's turn. DOesn't seem to be caught on anything though.

My setup:
-Tamiya Direct Coupling Front/Rear
-Square RC Center One Way Shaft



UPDATE: I reinstalled everything. Both wheels vibrate when I turn past halfway to the stopper on the hub. And then it vibrates wildly. Never did this before. only thing I did different to it was install Tamiya Direct Coupling.

How'd you solve it?

How can I prevent it?

I have 44mm CVDs. I might have to cut them too we will see.

Now I'm having a different issue though =( The dogbones that go from the diff to the tires are popping out and I'm losing my steering on the right side. It seems that the dogbones aren't very tight in the cups that they fit into. Is there any way to fix the problem fairly inexpensive? You can tell where the dogbones have been wearing against that little cup =/

Like these: They come in different lengths. Timmie help me out with this when I was binding.

You need some play for the space it fills when the suspension compresses. Either way, get those universals and you won't have those issues plus you get a little more steering.
