Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
well todays comp went great, i placed 3rd. (we wont tell anyone that there was only 3 pro rigs on course today, it'll be our little secret.)

i think one of the other guys got some photos of my rig and i got some video footage which i will edit and post up later this week.

the cvd's worked well and are a huge improvment, and to prove im not bullshiting here are a couple of teaser shots.

We want more pics :shock:
What are those CVD and how do you connect " the dogbone " inside ?

Looks like plenty of steering. How much angle you think you're getting?

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
I'm pretty sure not certain though that he has used wraith cvd's and ax10 knuckles.

d_j_stockton 04-14-2013 11:55 PM

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
Not wraith cvd's but 2 x long venom creeper ones (they have a long and short one) there were the cheapest option. Now that I have proved the concept I will look into using acc/ax10 cvds next time for a better quality part.

Max steering from lock to lock is a little over 90 deg.

The knuckles in the pic were only for mounting. I'm now useing vanquish products 0 Ackerman knuckles for the scx/ax10.

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
I'm guessing you put a pin in the end of the axle for the spur.

d_j_stockton 04-15-2013 12:14 AM

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
Yeah. I have more pics to upload. Will try to do it tonight

Pics please. Can't seem to see them.

pajey 11-24-2014 11:22 PM

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
This is an old thread. I don't think he has this rig anymore. But basically he cut a CVD to length then drilled a hole and added a pin for the spur.

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
any part number or sites to go for the cvd's cant find em

JCon 12-03-2014 09:31 AM

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
anyone have something figured out. that stands up to the stock motors.

was looking into traxxas slash universals. will they drop in besides cutting to length. and drilling a pin hole?

chopfather 12-31-2014 12:03 PM

Re: cvd's?... no problem
 
They should work with a few mods because I'm using the stock slash/stampede plastic universals from traxxas. I had to dremel the inboard end of the universal shaft to make the setscrew hole align with the hole on the rs10 locker and also had to dremel the inside of the axle tubes because the plastic universals are so big around. I don't think I really increased the steering angle with these but I think it would using steel units . I just tried the cheap plastic ones first to see if they would hold up to my 540 conversion and so far, they are taking the abuse even when i hit the throttle with a front wheel in a bind.
