CEN cvds, arms and hubs on a savage - 02.12.2011, 07:44 PM

Here it is, what you have all been waiting for!!!

And yes, I made it work.

But first we will have a little show and tell , featuring the CEN parts!!!

All of these parts are off the big boy Cen GST/Genesis/Nemesis. It is an 1/8 scale truck with a very similar look and construction to a savage. Just a bit bigger.

Here are the hubs, broken down into parts:



Note the giant inside bearings, the outside are 8x16, and are the ones shown next to the inners. Only downside is cen uses metal sheilded bearings instead of rubber sheilded.




The knuckle attaches to the c hub via 2 large screws, look like m5 thread to me. And they pivot on 2 metal inserts as shown. Very smooth setup, and these are beefy parts, I doubt they will break easy.



Cen lower arms, next to a savvy arm. Suprisingly the cen arm is shorter than the savage arm, and it uses much smaller hingepins to attach to the hub.




Cen upper arms, much stronger than the savage parts, and come stock with a turnbuckle with what looks like a m7 thread!!!



And the mother of all cvds. Look at this beast!!! The center cvd is the lst2 part, and the top dogbone is a stock X part (wimpy looking, ain't it!!). The cen cvd is just massive. I just cannot see it breaking, or wearing out quickly. Keep in mind the cen has 23mm hexes and 7.5" tires on it stock, they weigh alot.
