CEN cvds, arms and hubs on a savage - RC-Monster Forums

Ok, tried the cen knuckle with the lst c hub and a savage arm (as it normally attaches to a savage bulk.

The cvd is too short. Not by much, but it is too short. This fits with the fact the cen arm is slightly shorter than the savvy arm.

Since the cen arm is a direct fit for the savvy I will continue with that. Will need vorza diff output cups, so I will order them today. Might also snag up the required cen hingepins to mount the c hub to the cen arms. I am also looking into a way to use the cen upper arm.

I will get some pics up in a few.

Maybe just get a CEN truck instead? ;)

Linc, if you have the time, I would really appreciate if you could post some pics of the savage arm-lst hub and cen spindle..

Sure, did not have the camera handy when I mocked it up. With the X diff outputs the shaft is about 3mm too far out. I am not sure if you can get longer diff outputs, that would be what you need to get the cvd end seated in the cup correctly.

I will also post pics of the cen lower arm, with the cen c hub and cen spindle. With the lst diff outputs the cen cvd is in just the right place. The cross pin on the ball end of the cvd will have to be trimmed slightly, but I have high hopes that the vorza diff outputs will be a perfect fit. You can even use the cen inner lower hinge pin to hold the lower arm to the bulk, fits perfectly and is reatined by a nylock nut.
