have you removed the set-screw? they usually spide right out

or are you talking about the end that goes into the diff out-drive cups? those ends are pressed in and are a pita to remove if there worn because they become a bit larger or mis-shaped...

Ive tried pressing in new pins...and its been hit or miss....sometimes they are Tight and dont budge....sometimes they like to walk out and go for a ride....so imo for the price of CVD's...its worth it to just buy brand new and toss the old 1.

The big question for me is if we can run less rubber now. Seems where I race we need to run M3 compound rubber or it just does not work right. The Mugen can run M2 rubber and still be fast. This is mostly due to weight but it would be nice to run harder rubber.
Nice work.

Now how about that servo saver????

So is the TFT chassis going to be part of the new kits coming out? Or will it be an optional part? It looks pretty bad a**.

i would think they'd keep it as a Upgrade....like most other companies...why include it when they can charge us another Cnote for it..
