anyone know anything about these? they look like could be pretty usful. but for some reason i thought i read somewhere that they are 6mm shafts, which mean we would need to find 16x6 bearings.

I have an old Ofna Ultra LX, which has these universal joints. They are indeed 6mm.

RCMFMaxxMan I too have these. I even got bearings to work in the mad force hubs but couldn't figure out how to put wheels on them.

Noticed that tower got there shipment of FO-XXs in and saw that someone purchased this item:

TowerHobbies.com | Traxxas Steel Differential Spool Revo

Traxxas Steel Differential Spool Revo 5381X

Does anyone have a link discussing this or any knowledge about it?

that spool won't with in the TF/MF axles. first the bolt patter is all off, and second TF axles wouldnt mount to it without some modifications.

If You want to "spool" it with chance to go back, You could just throw in extra gears ( I prosume they still don't do that in factory ) and very very stiff diff oil

 

[Cainlord]

okay cool thanks for the info!

 

[Cainlord]

been running through a variety of posts, etc concerning CVDs for the vehicle and the common theme is finding (by that i mean, in stock) the cvd bone for the long side.

Does anyone have a "current" listing of parts that will work to do a complete CVD set of the vehicle, in particular the long side and are actually available?

 

[mjderstine]

I do my long sides by sleeving a short side to a stock doggone with some 1/4" break line. And then braze it. I've done a write up here or there. I don't think there are any that are a drop in size available anymore

 

[Cainlord]

doing a bit more searching, based on what someone mentioned a year ago it appears these may work:

HPI Hellfire CVD Shafts for Center Axle | eBay

However, I don't know for sure as the person never followed up to say that they did. But assuming the dimensions are right, this would be a source for the hard to find longer shaft and the shorter one.

 

[mjderstine]

it could work, as long as you can disasemble the cvd and attach the stub shaft.

 

[Cainlord]

yeah, that would be a nice option. Checking with the seller to see if its possible to just buy the bones.

 

[CheapTwin]

It looks like they're making them by themselves ? there's lots of cvd's on their kyosho page so You might get complete custom shafts

 

[Cainlord]

yeah, they have a good variety there from what I am seeing too so I am hopeful

 

[mjderstine]

yeah, its a good price, a complete set for a 777 for $52 shipped.

 

[Cainlord]

Should find out more from the seller monday, will post what I find out

 

[Cainlord]

alright after talking with them basically they are wanting now to stick with selling the full on CVD kit where its all the cvds, etc for the whole car.

Was trying to work with them to see if they could look into making a "CVD Kit" for the Kyosho line but alas I don't know if it was lost in translation or what, but its a no go.

 

[Cainlord]

anyone have an emaxx or this part lying around and can confirm the ballend part dimensions?

TRA5188 112mm CV Driveshaft

 

[Cainlord]

tried the traxxas part, it appears to be the right length but the end is too small to fit in the HPI hellfire part but appears I think to fit a D8 sized axle. Also, it appears to use a cvd joining part that I don't have on hand.

the Losi LST has a part that is similar in length, trying to confirm the end dimensions on it.

 

[cruz1383]

does anyone know of any cvds that will fit now that the other cvds are out of stock and i would like to stay with the stock length setup cause im not crawling or trailing with it.

ones with very little mods needed drop in prefered lol these will be going into my new foxx i recieved..
