Opinions on Vp cvd's ?

[Harley]

I have the original VP CVD's, not sure what they were named but they were the first ones. No problems yet, but what are the differences between what I have and the newest ones? IE is it worth the upgrade? Running 3S BL, 21 turn motor for now, but maybe the 3100k tekin roc soon.

More material was added around the pin slot as well as where the pin goes through the stub axle. Almost twice the material as before in the areas where problems were seen.

If they haven't failed you yet, keep running them! The day to day performance will not be different, just the overall strength.

Thanks for the info Harley! I ended up grabbing a set of the new ones, since I switched to the ROC412 (from a less torque driven 2 pole BL) motor. The old ones also only had one set of holes for the CVD pin, the new ones have two so I guess if you mangle one set you can switch. The old ones were fine, will re-purpose them into a new crawler for the wife soon enough, since I replaced the housings with SSD at the same time.

I hope this the correct place for this question I just installed VVD front axles in my Wraith I have the Vanquish stage one kit in it and the vanquish clamping Hexes the problem is the sleeve comes loose and I'm just messing around inside the house I don't see anything that will keep it in place it is just a slip fit and there is plenty of room for it to slide out and the pin falls out any help would be great. I have disassembled it several times and made sure it was all of the way on but it still pops loose.

Sounds like you forgot the inner bearing on your knuckle.

I was wondering if there was suppose to be a bearing in their I have a bearing kit from fast eddy I will look to see if the correct one is in there thanks. It is really hard to tell from the pictures and my utube search did no good at all.

Thanks for the heads up It makes much more sense now that there would be a bearing in there and it worked great I installed them and all is well now. I am pretty new to crawlers but so far I love all the Vanquish stuff I have added to my Wraith.

On the VVD's for the Ascender the description states two pin options. What are the options?

It means in the stub axle where the CVD cross pin goes thru. In case one location were to break, there is a second option.

Any bomb proof axle shafts for the Losi rock Rey? Or any more bomb proof parts in for the rock Rey in general? Just scanned the VP website and only saw 1 maybe 2 items for it.
