I bought a set of CVD arms at my local rc shop, and when I got home they were just a bit too big for the bore that was available in the axle shafts. I did some brain storming and after a slow but effective process, I think I have a good solution. Added bonus is that if I need to replace the bearings or even the axle shafts, I can do that without having to disassemble the whole differential now. Let me know what you guys think.

If anyone else needs these files, let me know and I will upload them. Otherwise I will wait until I finish building other variations and then upload it all as “Alternative OpenRC Parts”

Overhere the same, i’ve got a drivetrain using almost only HSP parts, plenty strong and very cheap. Should combine them and upload. If anyone wants them now, let me know.

I would love to hear more about the HSP parts you guys use as I’m going through set after set of spares with my brushless setup (axle shafts, pinion gear and I believe just now my main differential… :-(…)
