BEST CVD's for Revo? - 08.31.2006, 03:04 PM

Who makes the best CVDs for the revo /maxx 3.3? I'm looking for some for both my revo and my e-maxx that I have converted to the 3.3 hub carriers.

I'm tied of tearing up the crappy ones from ebay. I want the best once and for all.


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

The sliders should hold fine, but if not, the MIP are certainly the best. Even better with the aluminum bones, but that might not hold up.

Yeah, the aluminum bones made my eyebrows frowns when i first saw them..

It's light weight for sure, so that's tempting.. But an aluminum shaft? i can't imagine it will last long.

Squee: The sliders hold up fine for me in the front, But I keep tearing them up in the back.

I was looking at the MIP, but was wondering if there was anything better out there, like UE or something. Sounds like MIP is the way I will need to go.

Anyone know if there is anything in the works at UE for the 3.3 Maxx?

I wouldn't think Al bones would last long either, but as long as they are no less than 7075, use a steel pin, and have enough "meat" around the pin, they should be fine right?

Titanium cvd's are known for their wear, which is harder than 7075 (which i presume the MIP's are)

My guess is that the pin gets loose in the bone (you have got a maxximum possible amount of material in the cup) another concern is that they brake/bent one way or the other.
