Question for everyone... Without flipping the outdrives to use the other side, how long are the outdrives lasting on your cars? Since it's difficult to measure this by distance or even time, I'm gauging it by the amount of fuel used.

In my situation, I just finished a gallon of fuel on a new V-One-RRR Evo WCE chassis and the outdrives are so worn that it was causing handling issues. What was occurring was the CVDs would stick in the worn out section and bind up the suspension. This caused a "chatter" or "hopping" effect on acceleration and induced a push to the car in high-speed turns.
Ive found that mine normally only last 2-3 meetings max before I have to swap them out -- even putting heat shrint around the cup to retain the grease is nut helping too much. I have ordered a set of these Factroy Pro jobbies and i'll let you know how I get on.
