Hey guys hope someone might be able to help me out these are out of a xxt I’m rebuilding at the moment and just trying to figure out who the manufacturer was as the don’t look like Mip, thought maybe losi. I need to replace the drive pine with measure 2.3mm (3/32”?) diameter x 12.7 mm long any ideas where I could find some and a tool to replace them with? Cheers adrian

Those are 1993 era CVD's, prone to failure at the pin hole, later versions had the bottom of the "bell" thickened so there was way less wear- the heat treatment wasn't perfect either, so most weren't super black. Oddly....their aluminum CVD's always retained this design....and we're prone to early failure lol

I'm actually running a set (until they fail) on our T2.4 race truck Vs the later CVD design
The drive pins can be hammered out on a vice/pin block, tap them with 4/40.../thread in weed trimmer line
