Thats what some of my AE steel outdrives look like. That's a good way to pop the end off a CVD, ask me how I know. :lol:

Hi,

Sorry for the small pictures. The advertisement does not mention what type of titanium the outdrives are made of. It mentions that they weigh only 9.8 grams per pair.

The full description from the advertisement in RC Car Action August 1994 is as follows-

New for Associated cars. Titanium outdrive sets for the Stealth transmission (part number BCA3020). Talk about the ultimate in Hi-perfomance. After months of research and development BARRACUDA is proud to introduce one of the trickist parts of all time. At a weight of only 9.8 grams per pair, Barracuda Titanium Stealth outdrives are nearly 50% lighter than the stock transmission outdrives. Now that's some serious reduction in rotating mass! These outdrives are recommended for Hi-perfomance racing applications only. Ask Oval National Champion Brian Landgraff how well they work, he won't run a race without 'em.

Thanks for posting that Dual. Too bad it doesn't mention the type of Ti they used. I'm just very surprised to see Ti wear out like that. I would have though it would be much more abrasion resistant.

do you mean that the pin is loose inside the dogbone? or, that it has just started to work it's way out, but still fairly tight?

the weedwacker line is easy. knock out the pin, and shove the line in. :wink:

yeah the pin can be moved almost out but the end still holds it in...I tried to make it a little tighter by using pliers but i think i was making it worse...I'm not sure the best way to save the dogbone...maybe once it falls out just jamming in the weedwacker line will work...
