Well, I finally managed to break a part on the A700 last night. 'Break' might not be the best word choice here. The universal ring popped off after an encounter with the board causing the front universal to seperate. I eventually found the front U bone, U ring, bushings, and 1 of the 2 U-joint cross pieces all intact and in working condition. I was pleasantly surprised that nothing was bent, cracked, and/or deformed in any way. So at the end of the day I managed to lose a U-joint/pin. Unfortunatley, it ended my night as I didn't have a spare U-joint. Has anyone tried the new/revised front universal ring (A700-P20)? Does it seem to do a better job of holding the front universals together? I'll be putting an order together and will be giving these a try.
