This may have been discussed on the "old" board, but here goes....

Sunday, at the local HobbyTown Parking Lot races, I lost the A-main because of a problem with one of the composite CVD's on my TC3 -- the cup end just split in two, and that wheel lost drive and generally caused problems (I finished in 3rd, but a lap down to the leader)...

This is only the second failure I've had in two years, but both times it was a COMPOSITE CVD, both times it was a FRONT CVD, and both times, the "cup" just split in two... I've now installed a set of the Blue aluminum "team" CVD bones...

I know I've seen debates on the TC3 "bones" -- as I recall the composite CVD bones are supposed to produce better accelleration, etc., but the most serious debate was about durability... ?? Some thought the Composite bones broke too easily, others thought it was the other way around (the Aluminum ones broke/bent)...

Any comments or wisdom to share?
