This is a Worlds kit (9040), hex wheel adapters and the factory set up. I am running a Reedy 7.5 w/ stock timing and a Reedy 4000 2s shorty. The car only has 5 full runs on it.
Has anyone else seen this? Solutions? Ideas?
In the pics you’re seeing that the pin is bent on one side and broken off on the other.
never had that issue... how do build your your driveshaft? personally i just use the retainer C clip and put a dab of CA on it to keep it from moving and shooting the pin out. i dont use the set screw.
