Im not sure who all makes CVDs for WK axles, but a local NOSTR member ran a set and broke them just as easy as the stock shafts if i remember right.

No one makes them anymore. A few vendors carried them but no more. I need to figure out something for it, getting old snappin these things. Not many choices for wide axles and I'm not a fan of wideners either.

MIP used to make them, I scored a set NIP off of here over the summer. I was really unimpressed with the size of the CVD, it's tiny compared to a shaft made for an Axial axle. Maybe we could bug RC4WD enough to make some for the WK axles.

yeah the original CVD's were designed when we ran 55t motors and 7.2 batteries

things are a little different now...I am working on a new solution for the WK CVD's I'll keep you guys posted..... when I work them out.

Mine just showed today so I'll be starting a new build thread on it soon.

Thanks to FROADER there wont be much thinking behind it, just installing the new components and giving it some fresh paint.

Here is a quick update.
I have the mad/Twind force axles fit. Thanks to Supershafty.com

The width is 8.25 pin-pin. Perfect width for what I wanted.





I have to remount the tires, bead keeps popping out, and figure out steering. I am getting a slight bimp steer at full compression.

Love the weathering and simulated rust. Seriously reminds me of my 49 ch3a 1:1 when I first started working on it. One other small detail you could add that seems to be the norm on the old cj's. You need a muffler and pipe exiting the drivers side just in front of the rear wheel well. Make sure the muffler is outboard of the frame rails and smashed to hell, I have yet to see one on a willys that was not. Of course if your jeep is equipped with a V-8 rathen than the original flat head 4 you will need 2 mufflers, equilly smashed of course.

Thanks, as you said, it has the V-8 conversion with dual exhaust. The mufflers are tucked up so you can see them though. LOL
