there was 2 original purposes for the bearing. With dogbones, they have to be there to keep the inner shaft centered in the outer stub. In this case the cvd's dont need themas the shafts are held centered by design. In fact with the large tolerances differances in the stock pieces knuckles and C's, they can put alot of binding into the cvd's.

the other reason is to help tie the ends of the axle tubes together so they cant walk on each other inside of the "C's". other then that the only thing that the bearings do is keep the junk out if the ends of the tubes.

Thanks, any updates on when these will be available again? I have been checking TCS but still shows back ordered.

SDS Customz · 03-18-2011, 10:17 AM

As soon as I get the parts to fill all of my orders they will have them back up on the site. I would hope they would have them listed as in stock within 2 weeks, as I should have parts early next week.

Hulksta · 03-19-2011, 12:36 AM

Cool

CreepyCrawl · 03-21-2011, 07:08 PM

Eddie at Crawler InNovations carries them as well (just waiting for re-stock)

Pappy · 03-27-2011, 12:52 PM

I believe he said the machinist should have them ready by the middle of this week. Pre-orders getting filled first I'm sure....PM SDS and do a pre-order like I did. Money in hand talks loudest.

Pappy · 03-27-2011, 10:02 PM

BTW, I am really hoping to see these in hand by this weekend as our first scaler comp of the season is this coming Sunday.....Axial shafts give up the fight with 6s lipo very quickly, and points are at stake. Maybe I can UPS some Monster Energy BFC's to his machinist to help him work longer to get them cranked out!!!

scbroder · 03-28-2011, 06:43 PM

Does the locker require any shims to get the gear mesh set correct? If so does the kit include shims? Are the bearing shimmed or the gear itself?

Can the axial wheel nut be used?

The locker works just like the stock one. No shims included.

Can the axial wheel nut be used?

they come with there own wheel nuts, as they are just a little bigger.(5mm instead of 4mm)

SDS Customz · 04-03-2011, 01:19 AM

LuckyDevil · 04-27-2011, 07:08 AM

Been looking for some Super 300's, any updates on availability?

cagedcbr · 04-27-2011, 10:05 AM

Any ideas if these would be compatable with Felsenfest spools or would I have to buy different spools, also has anyone run these inside beef tubes?

These come with there own specific locker/spool and they work with beef tubes.

SDS Customz · 04-28-2011, 08:34 AM

they are available, I have them and TCS's order will be going out very soon. I wont have internet service at home till friday afternoon. Im trying to answer what i can from my I-phone while at work, cause it doesnt work at home.

You can pm me or wait till you see them on TCS' site very soon.

Im pretty sure they wont work with Falsenfets spools as they use a stock style drive tang. My lockers use a drive similar to a berg.
