Drive cup sleeves

[Dreggsta]

Man I might buy a couple cans from you lol.

What tornado hit you? When? I haven't been keeping up w/the news since they let our prez get away w/benghazi gate.

On further investigation it appears the cv joint locked up, the pin was missing so not sure on the order that it all happened. Maybe the pin came loose & jammed the cv joint. Anyway I ordered a new set. If it happens again ill change to dog bones on the front.

 

[Dreggsta]

so that was a cvd drive? i was led to believe that was an output shaft cup. what angles are you running your axles/dog bones/cvd's?

You can see in the pic that its the outer cv joint.

All suspension setup is standard. The pin is missing & the cv is jammed, so not sure exactly why went wrong.

 

[Dreggsta]

Yeh I don't know what I'm thinking count. I'm on my way to my grandparents memorial so I'm a lil off.

When you say standard suspension set up what do you mean? I bought 2 xt's at the sane time & they were set up differently. I leveled them out w/a slight push downward.

Michaels, sorry to see the devastation. I know what it's like being here in baton rouge dealing w/hurricanes. What's magnificent is the rebuild process. Things get fixed like nothing ever happened. Best wishes to you & yours.

The front springs have the spring adjuster ring still at the top of the shock. no extra tension.

It looks like the cv siezed or the pin came loose. Might be just one of those things. You know crap Chinese quality. Some times things just break.

 

[Dreggsta]

I put o-rings in my drive cups. All of them. 1st a #11 & then a #12. 2 o-rings total in each cup.

Hi all Deano from down under OZ...

I have an XBE (HSP Fable here in Australia) and was looking to do some mods to my new buggy before I hit the track.

I was looking at doing the Diff cup thing but as Count said we have different size piping which makes it hard lol...

Then I starting looking at other ways I could sleeve the cups and realised that the Carbon fibre tail boom on my HK600 electric Heli is 20mm internal diameter. Having a spare tail boom I had a look and hey presto perfect fit. The tail boom cost me about $10 on ebay and is plenty long enough to do a couple of Buggy’s. Thought I would share my findings with you guys.

 

[TheCount]

That looks friggin awesome Deano, where in Aus are you. i'm in NSW.

How hard was it to slide them over the cups?

I just bought a Dune Runner & will do the same to it.

That was very out of the box. Excellent idea!

Good on ya mate!

 

[Michaels12]

Peace be with you Dreggsta.

Hi Count,

Im in N.S.W Muswellbrook...

the Carbon tubes slide over snug not a problem you couldn't get a better fit if you tried. Bit of super glue or something to hold them and your good to go.

 

[TheCount]

Hey Deano,

i'm on the Central Coast.

 

[TheCount]

Fitted my new front cv's today. sleeved them as well. This time i packed them full of cv grease i had left over from doing my missus's hyundai. Glued & sealed the drive boots as well.

Now it's time to do the same my new D/R. It has cv's front & back & most of the suspension parts appear to be more heavy duty than my M/T.

 

[Michaels12]

Installed 4130 chromoly sleeves today

Nothing special, but I can't foresee a failure there.... With the exception

of the shafts

 

[Dreggsta]

bout the only thing to do to the shafts is to temper them. or have them made of chromoly too.
