alternative SuperMaxx CVDS, EXT 8mm Axle
 

Hi guys my supermaxx cvds 8mm axle broke
is there a alternative replacement i can use.
i have ue spider 8 diffs.

could you please advise.

Cheers.

Where did it break? Pictures?

right next to the diff cup
i have attached a pic

do you have one spare also do you have a racer x shocktower as well
broke both

i am having really bad luck with my truck lately
once i replace parts i might sell it

this thing is costing me a small fortune

just got a losi 8ight e buggy with a neu 1512/1.5y motor and mamba monster esc on 5s lipo and that thing is much more fun than this my supermaxx truck at a fraction of the cost.

these are the pics

Ouch! I have a spare set of 2 in the house but I don't know when I'm going home. I'll let you know when I get home (few weeks).

You can still buy the shock towers from the UE store, but the CVD bones are out of stock.

Complete Racer-X Knucklehead Shock Tower Kit [here] $34.99

Just the Racer-X Knucklehead Shock Tower (one) [here] $17.00

U.E does not take international credit cards and paypal
 

so i have to try to find some second hand ones who can ship to Australia.

SHouldn't be too hard...contact [BillyTrucks123] on eBay, I am sure he has everything you want or need!

You can use Jammin' X2 truggy universals in place of the UE 8mm cvds, this will also allow you to use a 17mm hex. You can get them off ebay pretty reasonable. I have both and am currently using the truggy universals. I hope that helps.

is this the ofna Jammin x2 pro ones
i f it is i will order on ebay as i am in australia and need to make sure they are the right ones
thank you

These are the ones, and the seller who I bought them from, you will have to buy the hubs seperate.

They work well and fit my Racer-X with setbacks perfect. Their are 2 different hubs that ofna makes that fit, I am not sure of the part #'s but one is silver/grey in color and the other ones are blue. The blue ones have a little better fit between the knuckle/bearing.

Both x1 and x2 CRT unis and hubs(gray or blue will work) will fit the racerx/EXT suspension.

Hi George

i have 7.5 ue diffs would it still fit?

Yes it will. I run that setup (7.5 diffs and x1 or x2 crt universals) on my gmaxx.

What did you hit to incure that kind of damage? Did it happen in the same incident?

Don't use those aluminum body posts. That's suicide to your shock towers. Just use plastic ones (something has got to break, let it be $1 easily-replacable plastic body posts)

I also see that you are running aluminum bumper-mounts...that is not a good idea either, as impacts to the front or rear transfer directly to the bulkheads, possibly causing more damage. I suggest using stock or any other plastic motor mount, they will absorb any impacts, and are cheap to replace if they break.

Aluminum body posts especially are a bad idea. My advice on the bumpers, although more expensive, is to ditch them altogether and get some titanium skid plates.

Absolutely!

I've had awesome luck with rc-solutions skid plates. They are made of spring steel and just bounce back from impacts. Of course, they are hard to find, but it's not like there are tons of titanium skids available.

I also say ditch the bumpers

Yea, I had a set of the RC Solutions Spring-Steel Skidplates that I sold a while back, and they were bad-ass! They were less than 1mm thick, yet as strong or stronger than GA's 3mm Titanium Skids, but much lighter than even 2mm Titanium Skids, and the same weight or lighter than pretty much all aluminum skids (at least all the ones I have had or held).

I lied, rc-solutions shkids are plentiful http://shop.rc-solutions.com/T-Maxx-...-Front-013.htm

I think they are kinda ugly. lol

Me too, personally I wouldnt want a rusty skid on any of my trucks lol.

They won't rust, they are zinc-plated...plus, spring-steel is part stainless-steel, so they wouldn't rust without the zinc-plating anyway.

I do agree that they are pretty ugly, but they are the lightest, strongest solution made for skids. I prefer 2mm titanium myself, HCR Ti skids specifically, but the RCS ones are nice for strength and durability.

If they were stainless why would they zinc coat them? thats just dumb! Once the zinc wears off which it will (because they are skids) they will rust. IMHO nothing is better than ti skids period, anything else is just a compromise.
