a goliath nitro?!?!?!?! they are trying to get the most out of a design. I wish they would take a little time and make a few minor fixes to the kit. Guess its left to the aftermarket to make the fixes

[goobs]

they do have wheel cvd's now for $22...thinking about buying some?

The new wheel CVD's will help prevent dog bone breakage. The reason the dog bones break is because they rub on the axle cup when the steering is at full lock. This rubbing wears down the metal and creates a weak spot. I bet the majority of the people are breaking dog bones just behind the ball that goes into the wheel axle cup. You'll also gain a few degrees of steering with the CVD's.

I'm glad to see PTI stepping it up. my goliath is sitting and waiting for all these goodies. Those cvd's look real nice.

I'm super excited about the CVDs. I actually ground away some of the material on the drive cups to remedy the rubbing problem; similar to what some do with TLT axles. Ironically, when I installed some TLT alloy knuckles, they locate the stub a few millimeters further away from the dogbone so I didn't have to trim my new stub axles. But, because the dogbone can still move back-n-forth, the dogbone actually slides down into the stub shaft in off-camber situations, causing the same problem all over again. The CVDs will solve all of that.

NO it wont ken scotch tape does the trick "sigh"....j/k lol i thought you would know this.

Ill take your cvd's up with me and tig up the pins if you want... i need to find out what filler rod to use. i could just test them all on your mip's?

I bought cvd's a couple of weeks ago and they both broke But PTI says they are redesigning them without the step (where they broke).

Yah, the reason the first batch has the step is because they are the exact same ones used on the original MMT center drive shafts. They (PTI) had a large stock of those already and used them so they could get rid of them. The step was there because the center drive shafts needed the extra clearance. The inner axle CVD's don't need that clearance since there is hardly any movement when the wheels are turned. PTI didn't think the diameter of that step would matter THAT much since they weren't rubbing anywhere. But now they know and are redesigning the bone without the step. YAY!

just installed mine and noticed a little rub too but it went away.
my only complaint is that the threaded part is too short i have hexes w/ like 4mm extra behind them and i can barely get the locknut started. wtfudge?
