Every time i hit the wall (which isn't that often) the dog bone falls out. I will get the good cvd's next week prob. NOT 3-racing(they are junk).
I agree, we have the mugen cv'd on all of our car's.

I replaced after the first run at the track...they fly out pretty easily so I put them in the rear also. The car has been bulletproof for me and coming from racing a NTC3 is a nice change. I "had to" modify and buy things for the NTC3 so it would make the long mains so not having to do something just feels wrong but I think I can get over that.

Default The only CVD's are needed in the front of the car.

And the after market gears that are metal just tear up your belts faster. There is no need for the waste of money.
I never even tried to run my car with out cvd's in the front but the dogbones in the back work fine. I have ran all season on them without a problem.

Thumbs down fisher890

The quality on the STS motors is sub standard in my oppionion.
The problems you are describing sounds to me like the P/S is worn out, if it is go get it pinched.

As far as the CVD`s go.......I run the rear ones on all 4 corners, you can narrow up the front end to 195mm. More steering! As far as wear on them, I have worn out a set of one way & rear diff cups allready the uni`s are still fine.
Freefall girl............I bet beeing a woman you have more things to do with yourself! Besides racing.

Slot machine, I really dont know what you mean by those remarks, so instead of saying the wrong thing to you ill give you a piece of my schedule. You know being a woman is great. i work 4 months out of the year modeling and i spend the next 6 months doing whatever i want. Besides racing I am also an active sky diver, scuba diver and i also race motorcycles..So yes i do have alot of things to do besides rc racing , but i do manage to fit it in.I dont know if it's a woman thing with you but i bet i do more than most guys on this fourm.. what's your excuse? do you have a life too?

Yes I do have a life other than R/C. I am a stay home dad because I had my left arm amputated 2 years ago. I take care of my two most beautiful girls ages 2&1/2 and 4 yr`s. old. I am unable to do my chosen career, automobile painter where I worked 10 / 12 hours a day for thirteen years at the same place of work. So now I am on S.S Disability, by the way tax payers...............thanks.

There is a differance between being yourself, and being an ass.

Comments that have overly sexual sugestions are not only not appropriate for a public forum accessable to minors, but are not welcome in 95% of public situations.

There is nothing wrong with a joke. But if you dont know the person, then take it easy till you find the boundries.
