Yeah, it was just a few words in your reply that i used too in my earlier posts.. arh well, no offense taken of-course.. My reaction may seem upset, but to get me p'd off you need to come a long way, really.. i am more straight forward than p'd off.. I can understand that this comes down offended.

I know you can learn from one and another, listen, observe the opinions of other technicians. sometimes people (especially companies) forget that. I emailed nova about a diffcup for the revo, and pointed them at some critical errors, but do you think they take your word for it and tell you that they messed up? no way....

My dad was my hardcore technician, a precision tool-maker, who brought his work home and made his hobby his work. and he enjoyed sharing it with me. I was 9 when i helped him adjusting the valves on his car. Not bragging, it was just a hobby, he let me and observed, come to talk about it, i think of this; He told me when he couldn't get to sleep at night, that he started thinking about how a steam-engine worked.. this works for me too.. LOL i think we come down from the same road.. I don't have got your age yet, and i hope to reach it. Man, i am allmost getting sentimental..

the problem with the output shaft;

if you use a CVD, (such as the MIP) it uses 2 setscrews to hold the cup on to the shaft. I flattened them so the contact area was as large as possible, so i had the biggest stress divided. but you will get play on them sooner or later and you need to tighten them again.. Untill you get more play.. and so on, until you are thru the material. the place where you put the screws on, is the very same place where the hole is.

With a stock center driveline i can imagine it would hold up longer. (the thru-pin and the flex help) but the stock hard steel parts will last longer.
