I don't recall reading any universal joint failures as of yet until you thread.  What motors are you running? 2s? 3s? what pinion's? Under what conditions did you break it? Last edited by RIG_RIDER; 12-21-2010 at 02:05 AM. | |

I broke one 15 sec into 1st run. I think the C broke and the the shaft went since nothing wss holding it. Have not had any issues after replaceing c's and knuckle with VP, but I did notice the replacment shaft was a bit different and has a very slight rub at full lock. Just enough to remove the paint. Blitz 35t on 3s Stock pinions Broke in almost full lock dig. |

I've been running the same type of axles in my Twin Force supers for years, throwing a shit ton more power at them than anyone thought about running in an XR10....in a truck that easily doubles the weight of any XR10. They are still like new today. I do have them maxed out, that truck will turn a 360 inside it's own wheelbase. END POINTS people. | ||

END POINTS people.[/QUOTE] I said this same thing when everyone was mad about the LCC. They all were like (I broke a cvd at full lock). Just because the manufacture says it can turn that far, dosent mean you need to turn it that far. If I need to turn a little tighter, I use dig |

I had some breakage on my second test run. Axial sent me a new Universal that looked like it was made a lot better than the one that came in my kit, which was from one of the first batches to hit the US. There might have been a bad batch made.  |

End points are adjusted also I'm running 35t's 14 t pinions on 3s with dual fxr's.didn't really care about breaking universal just. Proved my point that the gears are pretty strong when used with the correct bearings.

This is the first I've heard of any breaking, GOOD JOB , I wondered what it would take. I have one that tweaked in a fall, but that's understandable, suprised it didn't snap instead.

Maybe you weren't complaining, I was just stating the fact that putting a steering joint at or past it's max, it's gonna get weak and bust....whatever it is.Quote:

I broke one but it was my fault. Know your rigs limits - I crossed the line Show me a 1:1 rig anywhere that you can just get in and hammer all day long with no breakage. Thruth is you have to be very calculated with your every move on the rocks to keep your rig running. How many times have you been 1:1 wheelin and some newbie starts hammering the throttle and ends up towed or trailered home. You're going to break something, sometime anyways so you better make it last. Set endpoints, don't hammer yourself out when fully bound up, and try not to land on one wheel when your rig falls. Those three things will help you a lot. Respect your rig and it will perform for you |
