Patience Alex it is good car, PB at Lilydale 2nd time out with a well run in RB T9
The high grip surfaces of NSW tracks it should be a weapon.
So far the best change I have made is the front diff.

Good Luck

Default Pins in CVD's and dogbones

The pins in my CVD's and dogbones are having flat edges after a couple of races. Do you guys replace the entire bones if this happens or is there a possibility to just replace the pin?

+1 however you can replace the pins. These CVDs are the strongest I have seen. I have yet to break one.

My rear CVDs are the ones that I used on the front of my S720 for a year, and they are still good, and never broke one.

You have to take your time with the crews, if you try to go to fast the plastic heats up and they break.

You need to make sure to use the right screw.

There are two sets of self tapping screws that come with the diff. One set short and one set long. The difference is slight by about 2mm but it makes a big difference. When building the diff, use the SHORT screw. Although the longer one may seem to work, you might get away with one hole but you will eventually get one that will strip or break (diff half) which is what you have.

The longer screws are for mounting the diff pulley onto the diff. Even there I've had some issues. What I did instead is use the SHORT screws for both the diff half and the pulleys and that has been good for me so far.

I've also had good luck using bicycle chain dry lube; doesn't attract dirt and everything I've used it on, onroad or offroad, seems to wear very well.

Which lube are you using? I have used the White Lightening with good results.
