this is a common problem with the half shafts... check out rc4wd, they make a stronger version. www.rc4wd.com | |

That's where they break, every time. Right now your only option is to replace them when they break. RCP is making CVD's that will eliminate this issue, but they are'nt ready to release them yet. I remember reading a thread about guys having stock TLT axles cryogenically treated to make them harder, but it's been a couple months ago. I don't think they came to any kind of workable conclusion with them. Your layout of what you are using does not sound unusual - if you were running a big outrunner I would'nt be surprised, but a 55t lather? Are you relieving the axles to get more steering range? It seems weird to me that you always break the left front... Last edited by Big Mike; 03-28-2007 at 11:21 AM. |

how long did it take you to break those three? maybe somthings not right in your axle, does everything spin easily?
