As for the length, I really hope someone could help on the dimensions of the cvd. Mistercrash has been successfully using these cvds on the e-revo after shortening the axle by drilling another hole for the pin that goes into the hexes. and he did 100 backflips using these cvds with 6s and they are still perfectly ok!
I have read about the SHD dog bones and the cups cracked with 6s. They are strong but not as strong enough. Maybe because of the material or the temper processes since the diameter of the SHD dogbone and LST2 cvd shafts are both 5mm.
Thanks linc. I have read your feedback on lst and savage. I do agree but I think I'll keep my savage as I have bought too many hop-ups for it :( |
I like what he did with the revo conversion.
I will be assembling a set of savage bulks tomorrow (hopefully) so I will see how a lst2 cvd fits. I have put some serious power thru my cvds on my lst2 and they are doing just fine. Losi make some good parts, I would not doubt they are better than the hpi stuff.
I feel your pain with the savage, I have 2 of them and have alot tied up in upgrade parts. I am not a big fan of the tvp design, but It is realatively easy to make a long chassis with simple tools, and that is what I am doing with my 5t build.
I hope the bulletproof diffs and the shd dogbones hold up...
As for the conversion, both trucks use 8mm axles so that should not be an issue, I have some spare knuckles for the savage and will see how the hex pin hole lines up wen installed in the stock savage knuckles with stock hpi bearings. Will try to do that tomorrow.
