Well, RC4WD has some stainless ones, and rcp has the cvd's which I think are the better of the two.

I think the stock axles are stronger than the cvds. I break them, but only when I get really stupid when driving.

So this will eliminate the C-cup with the dogbone? Sorry is thats the wrong term. I broke the axleshaft and the c-cup, so I am looking for a replacement/upgrade also. |

I like that it gives you more throw in the steering. With the MIP's installed on the front, how much more steering do you get and what limits the steering from going even farther with these on? |

this is a helpful thread. I ordered the cvds from mip today and from what I hear it should be a one time upgrade. I counted my pile of broken dogbones today (dont know y i keep em i just do) 6 stock and 4 stainless ones. i think it is about time to spend the $35 If anybody breaks one then post up and tell us how when why |
