Is there or has there ever been a cvd setup for a jrx 5 link setup? Any info would be great thanks

not for a 5 link, it wasnt a popular upgrade until after they went H arm. I assume your using a 5 gear trans, right? I dont recall an output cup that was ever made for a LRM trans. It was when the retrofit trans came out that dogbones came along for losi

Not so fast!

Wow....that was back when I was VERY active and I sure don't remember those! Nice!

So....do those have out drives? Or is that just the bone and the out drive is needed to use them?

Yep. Cups and bones

Buggy set's and a set for the LXT are still readily available.

on the mip instruction sheet it state's dogbones are to be used with h-arms.

I cheated and used bones in my 5 link with a XX retro tranny:

Gary is right the dog bones were made for the H arms, it says not to use them on thre 5 link. it has to much articulation for the Bones. the question is are their any CVD's I have never seen any for a X2 as they were not around when the jrx2 was built. the XXcr Cvd's will fit with a retro fit trans, but you still have the problem of to much movement on the suspenion? I would say they would wear out quite fast. I personly hate CVD's they have failed on me more times than I can count, were dog bones, or sliders have never.

i gotta side with rick here, why would someone want cvd's over sliders?

losi sliders have never failed on me, ever. cvd's on the otherhand....3 this year not counting 1/8.

Yeah cvd's are a lot of maintnence.... I was just thinkig if i replaced my axles i would go cvd because i need everything for my jrxt te outdrives the u joint things and both axle halfs are all smoked

I have some pm me if you dont find anything I may be able to help
