Seems real annoying that the one weak part is the bit you can't see, so failures are completely unpredictable and can happen halfway thru a race..... unless you rebuild them all the time just to be safe.
What is realistic life of D8 CVD's, if greased and with boots on, with no preventative maintenance? Need to figure out if they get stripped and inspected after every meet, or every 10 meets...?
So you are roughly running 10 tanks a month which is about 40.8 hours in 2 years. Based on 40+ hours, you think that the tiny CVD pins should hold up and if they don't, then they are weak? Riiigghhtttttt.
