Maxx1: She alive!!

Thanks for the suggestion although that was an issue about a few months ago

Oh and the issue is not that the pivot balls fall off easily but it sits at the end of the drive cups. A sudden twisting or bending on the shaft due to extreme acceleration will cause it to shorten the length causing it to come out. Limiting the shock travel did a lot and I havent found any other issue except my the ESC died.

Again thanks for the input I will consider it next time I rebuild this truck..

The pivot ball is located inside the steering knuckle, and attaches the knuckles to the a-arms. Its not that the pivot balls fall out. The problems you were experiencing indicate that the pivot balls were never set correctly. Tightening them brings the knuckle closer to the arms, which in turn pushes the driveshaft farther into the cup, allowing full suspension, and no need for limiting straps. Hope this helps out...... for your next build?!

If limiting the shock travel is the only fix, then get rid of the velcro. Instead just put a piece of fuel tubing under the piston in the shock. If you want the truck to be lowered 2 cm, then use a 2 cm piece of fuel tubing, or a 3 cm for a 3 cm drop, and so on. It will work much better because outside objects will never touch it or damage it.
