Default CVDs?

So I've had this E-Maxx for 2 weeks, and I've broken 2 diff yokes, 1 stub yoke, and twisted 4 half shafts. Its pretty much stock except for a rear spool and 13/72 gearing. Will the MIP CVDs really keep me from breaking, or will I just be breaking more expensive parts?

Yep it does stop breakages, just make sure your diffs are shimed propely.

I,ve run them in mine for a few months and no probs exept for the diff shim.

Yup cvd's will end your breakage issue. The only thing that will happen after the install is every once in awhile you'll need to re tighten the grub screws that hold the diff cups on and under pretty extream usage they will bend. But otherwise they are a great addition in strength.

Diff shim in an e-maxx diff? I had mine all apart yesterday and never saw any shims. Should I be worried (by the way I am running the T-maxx 2.5 steel ring and pinion) Where exactly in the diff are the shims??
