I've been running mine for about two months with no sign of wear at all. They really do add more steering if you cut a little off the knuckle and "C".

Sorry for my ignorance, but how does a set of these CV's improve steering? The drive shaft is locked into the pumpkin of the front/rear axle - just don't see how this would affect steering at all. I know I'm wrong just need some help. Thanks!PS: This CV kit work w/ a rear steer kit? If so, I would need (2) CV kits, if I'm correct - will be running (2) front axles.

Which yoke pins are you refering to? I haven't seen the pins coming out of the front axles, but if that is happening please send me some pics of the problem. The CV's will take care of that. If it is the drive shaft yokes, I have seen the pins work themselves loose. Either way let me know and I'll try to help out as much as possible. | |

If you were to to convert the rear to have steering, then yes the CV kit will work and you will need 2 sets. | |

 They're definitely smoother, and give you a nice increase in steering angle. | |

Rich - thanks so much for your input! I'll be picking up a set of these for my rear steer kit. As for the yoke/pin issue, it's not a huge deal - just something that works loose w/ time. I think I need to use a better CA to ensure they are locked in. Again, thanks for your direct feedback. PS: Why doesn't Losi advertise a rear steer kit? Seems like a nice, simple package can be put together w/o too much fuss. Either way, rear steer should be a lot of fun. | |
