Use Dremel with diamond bit.
When you grind to remove the "dimple" it is not precision already

Yes. Done that before but like what you say, you can only use it for one or two days and then the dimple comes back even worse than before.
I guess the more "play" the dogbones have in the outdrive because you grind out the dimple, the easier the dogbone pins form more dimples.
So you ultimately need to change them.

That wear is accellerated by having the diff set too stiff. It's because the diff pulley becomes fixed to the left outdrive when you tighten the adjuster.

But what use is the diff when you cannot set it stiff?

You mean like what Hudy does on the PRO wheel adaptors?
Sorry. Don't have that kind of precision machining tool to do that.

I also exchanged the pins in my dogbones with a longer ones that become flush with the outside of the cups on the diff. I am expecting them to wear (dimple) much less.
I have not track tested these changes yet, however.
I wish they would just make some spring steel diff halves..
I also wish serpent-usa would finally get in some 801214 pro wheel axles.

But someone here mentioned that Serpent is coming back to source from Hudy. That`s a good thing

I actually just added a new set of "slots" to my rear diff. It was very easy...I only used a dremel with a cutting disc. It turned out very well.

I had thought of doing the same. Well, credit to you, Arun. You always have the wildest of ideas !
BTW, do you know how long the pins should be to get it to flush with the outdrive? I believe the pin is 2.5 mm diameter if I'm not wrong...

Good question ! Well, there's one 2.5 mm hole already int he flyweight. I just take the dremel and drill out another 2.5 mm hole on the other opposite side as what is posted by Pyramid. I would agree that it's not dead accurate but it works...

So this is the original flyweight mod , but you are just adding the extra hole and two set screws?

What were the differences you noted between the original, unweighted flywheel mod and weighted flywheel mod.

In my case, I noted that the clutch grab even harder. Noticeable 15 to 20 feet after launch.

Yes. One M3x4 set screw on each of the 2 holes per flyweight. Total 6 set screws used as per Pyramid's picture.
Well, for those looking for every inch of performance benefit, you may want to try it. Some times, you would not realise what you're missing until you try it. It may or may not work for you.
