Are you having a problem with CVD's or LCD's?

The Losi team in USA use the Losi LCDs which is what the current kits all come with but perhaps you've got alloy CVDs which I could understand will wear more rapidly?
The LCDs appear to polarise opinion - they offer more steering but some users find that they are more fragile than a CVD.

One suggestion I would have if you want to stay with CVDs is to seek out the steel MIP CVD bones for the XX4 / XXX4 front - maybe Darren at DMS will be able to give a precise part number for you?

Losi sell individual steel front CVD's which last ages (12 months racing) but do not sell them as a complete set. So if your stub axles are in good condition then they are a good upgrade.

LCD's perhaps they've changed but despite several seperate attempts, mine constantly fell to bits.

I used shrink wrap on my LCD's and they were 100% reliable.
