Maybe she straightens his driveshaft........straight and hardened driveshafts always work the best.Does his wife also “bend your driveshaft?”
Whoa this just took a crazy turn....... lol. Then again I try to get rid of my wife sometimes too.
HAHAHAHA Oh yeah, we got the wrong impression. I figured there was more to the story that was left out. Otherwise I was going to say that I need to find a neighbor like that. Borrow the wife when I want and not deal with the attitude and nagging!Oops. Now that i read it again some peeps might get the wrong impression from what I wrote. My bad. Yes his wife is smokin hot but I would never. She is a recruiter/head hunter so when I need people for permanent or temp positions she helps me out. No further comment from my end.
I have some arrma cvds laying around. Im gonna give this a try! You're wicked with these Teknos my guy!This is the only part that Arrma makes thicker than Tekno. The Tekno shafts are 3.8mm diameter and the Arrmas are 5mm. The Arrmas are 2.5mm longer and you must use the Arrma stub axles because the ball end is larger and doesn't fit in the Tekno stub axle. FYI, Arrma uses good quality hardened steel.
Parts Needed:
- Remove the 13x19x4 bearing from the inner part of the hub and instead use a 8x16x5 bearing further inside the hub like you would when using the Tekno universals, so now you're using two 8x16x5 bearings. The driveshaft has moved further inside therefore making the other end of the dog bone in the correct position inside the outdrive, perfect!
- I had some custom steel rings made that slide over the stub axle pin. The pin has nowhere to go but I don't want it moving around.
- Place a 2mm thick shim in front of the inner bearing to get the dog bone further in the outdrive. This will put it in the same exact position as a stock Tekno dog bone.
- The pin on the hex side of the Arrma stub axle is 2.5mm and Tekno uses 3mm. I definitely want to use the Tekno hexes and pins, so I drilled out the hole.
- On one side of the truck I'm using a 0.3mm shim right behind the hex, the other side has no shims.
- I used the M2C delrin shock cap bushings on the front which have a flange/collar on them that spaces the shocks/springs out just a tiny bit, giving the thicker driveshafts adequate clearance so they don't rub on the spring. The rear driveshafts have plenty of clearance.
