To be honest I don't know but now you ask Lord D I think they are the same as KevinS posted :(. So then they are not uni"s but they work fine for me. The LHS guy suggested to replaced the normaldriveshafts with these and keep the kit ones as spare when I break them. The same story for the bumperbrace so I bought them without really knowing if they were really needed.

What is the real difference between the uni's or the cvd's?

p.s: these are the shafts http://shop.the-border.nl/customer/p...420&cat=&page=

Any of you tried the new Protoform MG yet? How is it?

KevinS 06-01-2004 02:04 PM

I never posted any uni's or CVD's. Herbie, maybe you can make a pic looking inside the wheelaxle part? Would be nice to have a look inside to see what they are. But like I wrote some time ago, it's better to have a uni on both sides of the dogbone than to have one CVD and one uni.


Another 3Racing part I do like: The delrin suspension ball nuts. The thread on them isn't very good and you may want to cut a bit of the first part that threads into the uprights away. But once you get them in... It's better than bad, it's good. :D

I also got them for my 705 in a desperate attempt to get the weight down, but it still weighs 100g more than my 710. :rolleyes:

I followed the instructions...The problem seems that when I push the shock (Without the spring) it seems not to rebound very quickly and they hardly re-extend back to norlam length. Maybe it's the serpent shock oil 30wt. I rebuilt them and I still have the same problem...any suggestions? Does your shocks rebound with out the spring?
Thanks

It's good if the shocks don't rebound all the way. They should come to about halfway. If left and right are the same feeling it's good.

Fill the shocks up. Then put the rubber bladders on top of it. Some oil may come out. That's OK. Level the rubber bladder till it sits on top flat and in the the shock body snugly. Then slowly put the shock cap on top of it. Slowly screw the shock cap onto the shock body where the rubber bladder sits and make sure that the rubber bladder is still in the same flat horizontal position when putting on the cap. If you got this done correctly, the rebound would be the same left and right.:nod:
