410 2.0 Driveshaft falling out of outdrive?

[DLupini]

My driveshafts keep falling out of the outdrive (front and rear). Anyone else have this problem? What’s the fix?

I can’t pop them in our out when it’s not running. At full droop they’re close on the top when you rotate the axle.

I did upgrade to aluminum hing pun braces. But I have the 0 offset pucks installed. (Hole in the center)

I tried shortening the turnbuckles, but they’re still popping out. I have the suspension in the correct adjustment according to the instructions.

I can't remember anyone commenting on the driveshafts coming out of the outdrives. If you have everything setup as per manual, I'd start trying to remedy things by limiting the droop a few millimeters and move the inner hinge pins inward.

I don't have the MT410 2.0, but the SCT410 2.0 uses same components and has same shock/droop setup. Here are the front and rear shots of my driveshafts at box stock 98/108mm droop setup for comparison:

This is mine at full droop:

I have a SCT 410 2.0 and don’t have this problem.

I double checked Droop and its 98 and 108mm nearly exactly.

I think the rest of the setup is per the instructions, but I’m open to critique.

Could it be that your chassis is flexing and causing this to happen? I see there is a optional center brace you can add to it, TKR9586.

I have one installed already. I did aluminum hinge pin braces, center bace, and aluminum hex adapters from the start. I did the same on my sct410 2.0.

Have you measured the driveshafts (on center, pin to pin)?

 

[DLupini]

Not yet. I will now.

Front and Rear are 87mm

I don't know what else to say other than some heavy tires are causing the issue. I'd start trying to remedy things by lessening overall shock length/droop a few millimeters. Make sure to adjust droop screws as well. After that, move the inner hinge pins inward.

For now I limited droop a little more and shortened the camber links slightly below the recommended length in the instructions.

I’ll be out with it early next week, hopefully that will fix the problem.
