axial mip cvd's

[highhpcummins]

Is there anywhere I can get them in pairs? Everywhere I look, it's a complete set. Only need them for one axle.

[jimgavey]

Get the Axial CVD's. I broke the MIP's after just one comp, not even a full batt pack through them. The Axial CVD's last longer and are available in pairs.

the dogbones are way more durable....

CVD's break

trust me. If you buy them your gonna want an extra set. The extra steering gained isn't worth the durability loses. You would be better off keeping the dog bones.

I've had mip's before & never had any issues with them.

how strong is your servo and are you running lipo?

lol

Very true I am running 3s lipo with a 7t puller and the dogbones are holding up very good compared to the MIP's. In my build it shows what happens when you let the pin in the cvd's back out.

I havent had a problem with mine so far had em for a while

[BEELZEBOB]

why does every one want CVD's?

all you get is a little more steer angle, but like half the durability.


inorder to make tighter non dig turns, im overdriving the front axel. seems a lot more functionally sound than dinky lil CVD joints?

Or you could just stop being a whining little biatch and do both CVD's and mismatched gearing. Every advantage can help.

I've been beating on my CVD's for nearly 9 months and haven't even pulled them out to grease them let alone replace them. I'm also running some funky steering lock.

mine broke after testing in garage with a goat brushless motor, the pin snapped

These are fully rebuildable shafts, a pin is gonna cost you virtually nothing to replace.

I didn't break my axial cvd's, but they fit so loosly into the wheel bearings the wheels wobbled very badly. I've also tried the dog bone mod, which gave decent steering but I kept bending the dog bones when the pin would pop out of the cup.

I've just started to test the cvd's from 3 racing. They fit the bearings very well and they have a good size drive pin, much larger than the axial or MIP, and at $20 a set, they are affordable.

At rcsolt.com. Item #: MIP08102 . Good luck

What motor battery, gearing setup are you running? Oh and weight has alot to do with it as well. A rig that weighs under 6 lbs and is running 87/14 gearing with a 55t motor and 7.2/7.4v isn't gonna break near as much as say a rig that is over 6 lbs. with 87/12 gearing with a 35t handwound or Holmes puler and 11.1v. Trust me I have tried both axial and mip cvd's and can explode them on command. I will stick to my dog bones thanks. Oh and if you plan out your lines the little extra steering the cvd's give isn't as important. That and the advantage doesn't help if you break a cvd half way through a coarse and have to take a repair.

Except for a Touch Repair penalty....

950 or 1250kv brushless, 3 cell lipo and total wheel weights of around 1 3/4lbs on rovers.

I've swapped out the rear gears to under drive the back. I'm not set on this just yet, tried it on the 1:1 buggy and it didn't end well.

Had a AX10 rig at our comp last Sunday that busted an Axial CVD pin in the first 10 feet of the day. Mine have faired pretty well. Also have the 3 Racing ones to try out in my scaler.

I'd like to have the CVD extra steering angle but I haven't heard anything good about the durability of either MIP or Axial CVDs. I ran the MIP CVDs on my TLT axles without any issues for two years but I haven't been convinced they are the way to go in the Axial axle yet.

[2500hdon37s]

sure the extra steering is nice but i im sticking to dog bones. less parts= less to break. the dog bones have a lot more metal on them
