Wonder if the 40 series alum beadlocks play a huge role in snapping the cvds?

TwistedCreations · 12-20-2006, 01:02 PM

I would say no... I snapped them with maxx size tires...

snapping CVD's has alot to do with weight, how you wheel and what brand they are.

RodyRazorBackc5 · 12-20-2006, 01:40 PM

I have some 8mm cvd's that i made a while back if you want them PM me .

chevellian · 12-20-2006, 10:20 PM

I think weight definetally played a role. Also I discovered that a bearing in the knucle was trashed. When I designed the axles I was allready pushing the cvd pretty close too bind, and all the slop from a bad bearing might have pushed her over the edge.

RodyRazorBackc5 · 12-20-2006, 11:24 PM

Returned your PM,

Also consider if you are interested in spring steel , as I have used that for some universals. DO you think that your angle of the axles is to severe that , that is what causing you to rip bearings more then usual?

chevellian · 12-21-2006, 12:04 AM

Probably doesn't help any. This was my first build, and I thought a lot of center diff clearance would be a big advantage. Maybe if the driver would learn to recognize a bad hang-up it would help a lot

.

The truck is 15lb. and has plenty of power, something's gotta give.

Assuming you used a CNC, What would it take to get a copy of the DXF files?

sorry but the axles are not available anywhere I designed and machined them myself, it took about 20 hours to machine.
kamikaze, what kind of internal pics? I have pics of the axles in seperate pieces and some during machining.

SIRMAXXALOT · 01-30-2007, 11:40 PM

Simply beautiful. If I could only fathom that build I would take the broken parts------>

krawlinCJ · 01-31-2007, 03:54 AM

Extremely nice rig.

You said it weighs 15lbs right? You also said it has a lot of power. It looks like your not running foams too right?

I think the reason your breaking the shafts is a combination of the weight of the vehicle and the traction of the tires(they look pretty squished down in some of the pics). Also moab xl's with aluminum rims is a lot to turn.

Still, I want that rig

chevellian · 01-31-2007, 04:37 PM

I was running star cut foams, I now have full foams. I like the full foams better.

I think the axle design lets the wheel drop into holes and cracks, that a strait axle would bottom out on, that really can bind a wheel and of course you try to get free and welll, something breaks. I set my slipper up now to slip a little before she stalls, hopefully that will keep me out of trouble.

TwistedCreations · 02-01-2007, 12:49 PM

Very nice fab work.. truck looks great

The bumpers look like upside down versions of the DG bumpers I had on my quad

15lb. rigs will break alot of parts. Specially with power/torque. The best advice, is what you have already done. Loosen up the slipper clutch some.

wdogg78 · 02-06-2007, 11:51 AM

i like your maxx tubler keep the good work up man

What CVD brand of CVD did you break ?

How did it break?

What kind are you replacing with?

Read the thread.

I don't make tube chassis for sale. There are guys on here that do. If you can't find one, I can put you in touch with a guy in our club who does.
