Title: Dogbone Retention Issues Post by: djdrift on August 11, 2016, 11:15:29 AM My front dogbone keeps slipping out of the wheel axle...
What to do??? Granted that the car has collided a few times... But I just got the car yesterday... Mine is an Exceed RC 1/10 Infinitive EP Brushless...

If so, you could limit them to prevent the problem from occurring.
If your drive cups are damaged and the cause of the problem, your best bet would be to replace them. You can try DIY fixes like using heatshrink tubing to hold the dogbones in, but will add binding in your suspension.

And can any drive cup be used??? Title: Re: Dogbone Retention Issues Post by: iamahuman on August 12, 2016, 10:08:57 AM You'll need a drive cup for the Infinitive. If you can find other cars it shares driveline parts with, there's a chance the drive cups are interchangeable.
Title: Re: Dogbone Retention Issues Post by: djdrift on August 16, 2016, 10:55:08 AM This was fixed...
I did a DIY fix by placing a small rubber tubing in the differential side... Inside the driving cup... This led to removal of the looseness of the dogbone... |
