yikes. all i need is one. im going to make a post in the wanted section and see if any one has just on extra one they would sell.

[lazynocturnal]

i didnt read your post, i just looked at the picture of the link rmdw.

vcd, if your tight on money, do as i did then and use the creepers driveshaft cvd/yoke. you can see i used it in the picture. its alittle tight to push it on and then install the pin but it got me by for a bit...as for sending them to you, i wont. due to the act that 1 of those shafts are a axial drive shafts and they are weak. and my extras that i have are spares for my creeper as im running 1 integy and 1 traxxas shaft. i got to anxious when shortening the integy driveshaft for when i had dig and cut it to short...

okay well thats fine. the only other prob is not expecting to really need those yokes i sold them with the stock driveshafts to some one . dont u hate it when for months on end u dont need that one part and then u sell it and need it about a month later

[lazynocturnal]

pm waiting for you!

[venomcrawlerdud]

well i did some testing today and changed a few things around.

things i changed/am going to:
1. went to butten head screws on the rear shocks to help with the binding issue
2. changed out the pins all around to help with the slop issue
3. trimed the servo wire boot so the suspention would slip under it when needed
4. putting on driveshaft from lazynocturnal

things that im having troubled with:
1. when driving the front suspention does not like to settle when going over a incline were only one tire is getting traction
2. there is still a binding in the rear, im thinking i need to trim some more of the washer on the rear shocks. the buttenhead screw helped but didnt solve

things that are fixed:
1. slop in the axles is gone
2. lazy is sending my his old driveshaft
3. trimed the servo wire boot down

im going to need some help with the suspention issues

[lazynocturnal]

give us some pictures of when its binding.

i stoped by the post office today after having lunch with a coworker...the parking lot was full, i didnt even step inside. ill get back there tomorrow and get those items sent...

Did you install the new driveshaft you made in the rear? If so, it can be causing some binding since it isnt straight.

The settling in the front can probably be solved with new springs...if you still have the reds on it may be too stiff...

This is all really weird cuz it didnt have these issues whaen I had it...but then Im used to the way the XR chassis loads and unloads and Im wondering if that isnt part of what you are experiencing...

[lazynocturnal]

parts are in the mail. ill be sending you a pm with the tracking number.

[asw27x]

when you got one tire hooked is the skid up against the rock or not?

yes i did install the new driveshaft in the rear. i was thinking of changing the springs also, what weight oil did u put in my shocks? well i havent gotten to drive it much cus my front driveshaft likes to fall off (alot!). so im thinking just more run time when i get the new driveshaft.

not really cus the shocks dont settle very well so. but im going to try swopping out the springs and see what that does.

[venomcrawlerdud]

okay, so i got the package from lazy today. put some 1/2in shrink rape on the open pin and then used the male traxxas shaft that i had and shes one and working fine

also swapped out the losi red springs for some losi white springs and boy did it make a difference. the truck acks alot better when going up a incline. it still does pick up the front wheel but im thinking know its just because i dont have the weight of the battery on the front axle.
