MODERNIZED


update********

ran into a bit of a problem with the rear drive system....

the goal is to use gt2 cvas with the posi lock quick change

here are the issues i ran into.
i wanted to use the rpm hubs originally but,
- rpm hubs put the drive pin 2mm too far into the outdrive, and they bind at full compression..

so i tried a set of t4 hubs but,
-t4 hubs put the drive pin right on the edge of the outdrive.

so whats next....??

i can do one of two things..
-cut the cva bone and shorten it for the rpm hubs
or
-cut the cva bone and lengthen it for the t4 hubs

but i dont like cutting up brand new parts... even tho ive seen brian kinwald do it on his xfactory cars..
so maybe i could use a losi hub????? or taking suggestions

here are some pics of whats going on

some RC10 projects with RPM team car arms are using B4/B44 alloy hubs and milling out the inside so that the longer B4 cva bone will fit the out drive properly.

i have seen that modification.. but thats the opposite on my problem

Are there other CVD Bones that would work? Like from the Duratrax Evader or other trucks? I just was not sure if their was a difference to the CVA vs CVD. Just throwing my 2 cents in?

I thought this would be considered the samething

The Evader was a XX-t re-release, and the CV cup itself at the tranny is a larger diameter-Gregg and I toyed with the idea of a Losi CVD outer 1/2 that might have a different offset
of the shoulder to pin distance-

here are the custom towers i ordered from fibrelyte.

notice the lack of nose tube brace holes and also notice the rpm rear bulkhead holes!! rad!

mount those suckers...

looks great

Nice towers
