Hoppa's B2DA

[The Violator]

I have to agree...a "CV" joint has ball bearings captured in slots in an outer and an inner race that reduce drag at angle...the shafts we have on our rigs are just closed end universals or standardized universals.

There are literally hundreds of designs for a cvd. Many do not use the ball design.

You sir, are sadly mistaken. A CVD like that comes with the bully 2 is not a constant velocity joint. If you look at a universal next to a CVD you will see that it works exactly the same. The pins travel with the exact same geometry. At 50* of steering both will have the exact same speed oscillation. The only reason that you associate universals with having a greater speed oscillation is because it becomes more apparent at the greater working angles they can achieve.

Swap meet brands? Kyosho is hardly a swap meet brand.



:roll:

You should file a lawsuit for false advertising. I guess the fact all these companies like Losi, Tekno, Axial, Associated, MIP, etc all consider them a cvd. Think of all the millions your going to make. You know because your right, and EVERYONE ELSE is wrong.

I didnt make the post to get into a pissing contest only to point out the difference between what we use and what is THE MOST COMMON FORM OF A CV. I also didnt intend to jack Hoppa's thread...Sorry man...

Hoppa is actually used to the violation of the Violator.

If your going looking for an argument, or looking to prove something. Avoid The Violator. He will make wrong right, but at the same time, he's always right!

:shock:
A little update. I fabbed a battery mount and played with the link geo and shock position.
A couple battery mount pics.



And no I haven't driven it yet.

I wound up shimming the 10x14 bearing .011 towards the gear box.
I noticed the uni would bind if you pulled it out away from the gear box.

 

[ROWDY RACING]

Drive it after the shimming, all good?
My VVD's will be here anytime.
What shims are those, where did they come from?

 

[Hoppa]

I haven't had a chance to drive it. I noticed it with just the chub and knuckle assembled turning by hand. I put power to and cycled the steering, I couldn't get it them to bind again. I shimed it after just as a precautionary measure.

The shims I've had since my Losi comp crawler. I tried to find more recently and the lhs's are useless if you don't know which car there for.

Hopefully I can get it not the rocks this weekend.

Hey Hoppa...just to be clear...are you using a set of wraith shafts or two long sides or ?

 

[Hoppa]

A set of wraith shafts.
I cut the long side down and added a little to the short side.

From what I read, thats what I thought but just wanted to ask...do you know how much longer you made the short side...?

.100"

.100"

Crap....I remember reading that now that I see it again...my bad man.

How are the Wraith universals working?

 

[Illeagle]

Can I have it?

I haven't been able to get any time on it. Had a esc issue then got busy with another hobby.

You do know this is a comp crawler and there's no room for dolls in the cab.

:lmao:

Man a guy sells one comp rig and all of a sudden he's outcast to the Scale world? :mrgreen:

I got busy with another hobby.

NOW can I have it?
