Going rate on TTR CVDs these days ?

[M1tch]

i had the hot racing cvd's on my rear axle with ttr on the front. no problems with the ttr, but the hr broke after just a month. they are just way too small to be any good.

you can use any hex on them. i had 23 wide and narrow hex's and 17mm as well

Is TTR/MIP going to do another run? Who knows? I think the best chance we have is RC4WD. With that said, should we start another thread to ask RC4WD to create a clod CVD? Though not the same scenario, there was a thread started in the RC4WD section by the Creeper guys asking RC4WD to bring back the Creeper XVD. It took several months, but they brought it back. I was thinking that we should do the same...start a separate thread asking RC4WD to create a CVD/XVD for the clod. What do you guys think?

This is the Creeper XVD thread/petition I was talking about
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=267715

One last thing, I sent Mike @ RC4WD an email this morning to see what decision they came up with. I will let you know once I know.

Look. With all due respect to what you guys are attempting to do. Its as if you expect someone to pick up the design made from someone else who used to make it and di so in a week.

These things take time. And in order to find the person to do it, you have to contact the original designer and ask permission.

I have been getting emails on this thread for some time now and do far this is what I have.

RC4WD will make them if their is a demand as well as permission from the designer.
SDS will make them out of chrome moly, but no one wants them for that price even though they will be indestructable.

You don't seem to have the numbers in demand to bring down the cost.

MiP told someone here that these were ordered my the designer, yet he is not making them anymore??

Bottom line is. Do what I did for the all steel axial axles. Start a poll and promote it by p.m.img anyone who you would feel wants these and keep up on the thread. Continue to contact manufacturers and be patient. Numbers will go far. But if you don't have them. Sorry to say you may be SOL.

I do think RC4WD would be the best choice. But they will not be super 300's. And it will take time to make. It seems to me that the designer is the only bridge you need to cross in order to get this done. I would maybe even contact katan who is one of RC4WD's engineers and see if he can redesign a new one.

Ill give talking to TTR another try, there is a chance that maybe I can get them to release the design to someone else since it isnt feasable for them to embarq on it. Absolutly no promises or guarrentee's, I need cvd's just as bad as the rest of you though.

[mtnhrdgr2]

I cant speak for anyone else, but as far as I go, I never went into this thinking that someone could just create a brand new CVD from scratch overnight. Only ones that can do that is TTR because they already have the design and the machinery/tools to do.

My only point is we start a separate thread (like the Creeper guys) to specifically ask RC4WD to create one. The number of posts would then show (hopefully) that there is still a following which would then translate to enough sales to make a decent profit for it to be worth while.

If I start a thread specifically asking RC4WD to create a cvd/xvd for the clod, would people that posted on this thread post in that one?

Jetboat, thanks for following up with TTR.

Hey Savage,

I did see your post and did not dismiss it. I do hope it is true, but just in case, I am still following up with RC4WD. When Mike @ RC4WD told me that they would check on things, I am assuming one of those things was to really see if TTR had stopped or not. It would not be good business sense for him to just go by what I told them via email based on info I got off of this thread!

Between TTR/MIP and RC4WD, hopefully there will be good CVDs for clods again in the future. If what you say comes to fruition, then maybe in 6 weeks!

In the meantime though, I will keep following up with RC4WD. Thanks to jetboat for following up with TTR.

Teamwork

A new design is needed. The TTR's can't keep up with the other Super Axles out in the steering dept... I think the TTR design has ran it's course by now. I would think more poeple would want a new and improved Clod CVD/XVD.... Rc4wd doesn't need anyones permission to make one like there other Super XVD's... All they need to so is cut them to length and spline them... Or make a new spool insert for the Clod Spool Gear that will fit there XVD's.

[jetboat]

has anyone tried to modify the super bully xvd?

Still stuck with knuckles that have horrible ackerman though.

[mtnhrdgr2]

aint that the truth!! one thing at a time. once the cvds/xvds are made, then that'll be the next request

at the very least, i can partly modify exisitng alum knuckles to give additional turning.

Thats kind of why I wonder why so many guys are wanting these... About the Time you build up a set of Clods to be Comp Worthy... The 65:1 Bullys still have better Clearance, better Steering, Better 4 Link Mounts for Cheaper.

Say you find a set of Used Clods..

This is to build front and Rear axles

Used Axles $60
Bearings $23
Alumn Tubes $60
Alumn Knuckles $50
Metal Gears $100
CVD's $80
Wheel Adatpers $50
Upper Link Mounts $20

Thats $443 right there...

A New Set of 65:1's is only $289.99

[mtnhrdgr2]

Mike @ RC4WD responded back, and he said that YES they will go ahead and design/create a new XVD for the clod. However, they said it will take several months as they have other projects that they need to finish first, as well as design, prototype, test, then mass produce.

[mtnhrdgr2]

I agree that if someone were to build a super from the ground up, the clod axles would not make sense (at least to me it does not). Just buy super bullies for the reasons you mentioned below.

However, if you already have a clod, then it does not sound so crazy anymore. For me (to make a long story short), I am slowly accumulating parts for a berg super, but in the meantime, I found an awesome deal in the RCC for sale section on an already built clod super (less electronics which I already had). All it needs is at least one XVD (front) for it to be decent.

edit:
why berg and not a bully? that is a different thread

So any updates yet ?

[mtnhrdgr2]

When I last emailed with RC4WD, they told me that it would be several months. I was going to wait about 2 months before emailing them again.

Savage, you know anything more about this? I've been googling the TTR cvd and nothing is coming up as new stock. TTR's website still shows out of stock.

[slashbasher]

I have a set on a super I built and never get time to run. If the price is right I will sell them. I'm not using them.They are in barely used condition. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks.

[FatGremlins]

Check the For Sale section often, you never know when TTR CVDs might pop up...hint

We should have the TTR CVD's available in the next couple of weeks.
