RC8T drive axle issue? - 05.07.2009, 11:33 PM

This happened once, I called it a fluke. It ahppened again during the A main and put me out of the race The right front axle popped out of the drive cup, wedged itself between the cup and lower arm, and sent me into a doughnut. It pops out but there is no way to pop it back in without taking something apart. What could be the issue and what can/should I do?

something isnt right.... or you are really hitting something hard, there is no way possible my cvd bones could pop out without ripping and arm or something off the stick in the drive cup a long ways...

Apparently I'm an idiot...or at least I feel like one! Now that the truck is all cleaned up I found the problem. There is no screw holding the bottom of the steering block!!! Time to order one so I have it for next week!

Dont forget that littel bushing thing that goes on the screw. Without it you will tighten the screw down and bind the steering knuckle. When the screw falls out so does the bushing 99 time out of 100. Just figured I mention it so you can check.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I have to agree, I can't see anyway the CVDs can move that far in the outdrives even moving the suspension to fully extended to fully compressed. How deep are they sitting in the outdrives on your truggy?

Edit: I was typing while you were posting :p
