Cyber 10B Rear drive shaft help
Hi Everyone,
I'm brand new to the world of RC cars and I have just finished building a Cyber 10B. After the second test run up and down the driveway, the right hand side rear dog bone popped out of the rear axel housing. I see some people have replaced the dog bones with the HB CVDs, but I cant seem to find a set in Australia or anywhere on the internet. Is there a known fix for stopping the rear drive shafts from popping out? Any help or advice would be really appreciated Thanks very much Cheers Glenn |

Hi Glenn,
Make sure you have the silicone o-rings in the rear diff outdrives to limit the amount the driveshaft can move. If these are in place and this still happens you need to check the shock is built so there is 29mm between the bottom of the shock body and the top of the shock rod end. Any more travel than this with the standard kit shock positions could lead to the driveshaft falling out. Hope this helps |

Try Frontline Hobbies in Newcastle for the CVDs. They are the Australian HotBodies/HPI importer. |

Hi Glenn,
The Diff Cup Joint Adapter (61333) used with the rear CVDs should do the trick.

Thanks
G'Day Everyone,
Thanks very much for your suggestions. I checked all shock dimension and it was a touch over 29mm, so i corrected that. I have put a small washer between the inside bearing and the drive shaft, which closes the gap between the two shafts that are connected by the rear dog bone. I just tested it (on wet concrete!! w00t!!! circle work!) and its runs like a dream. The saft isn't poping out anymore, even after it ended up on its lid. I will investigate getting rear CVDs eventually. thanks again for your help Cheers Glenn |
