You don't say what pitch your using but I run an Xray 48 pitch 84 tooth. The only issue is that only 2 screw holes line up, but that's not been a problem for me over the last year.

hello guys, I have problems with my CVD, I do not know why but even putting a lock liquid in the screw, the pin shaft always out and broke my stering block, I searched but did not find any solution on the internet, but I found for TRF417, as in the photo below, do you know if there is something like this for the TCX

The tamiya stub axle and coupler set is a direct replacement for the HB parts. Just use the HB dogbone and you will be fine.

These, http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=68759

# 68759 UNIVERSAL AXLE PIN COVER (2PCS)

Hot Bodies TCX-68759_01.jpg


fit over the CVD and the pin shaft will not go out anymore, and the screw is not necessary.

+1
best option are the Pin holders.
using the screw compresses the screw to on side...always best to let the pin float in it's position.
I've been using the following:
Top ti covers...but others will fit also.
HB axle
Yokomo bones
Yokomo spool cups (steel)

this setup is virtually chatter free.
and I found to be the cheapest route

I have used it before...
you have use the right stuff....super flex and strong (usually has a glossy finish)
has to be cut perfect as to not interfere with axle movement.
but I still prefer the axle covers above all.
