Keep spending, before ya know it you'll have a Factory team kit

 

[a737mech]

actually, It will be a Factory Plus because i am adding high performance Racing aftermarket parts to my GT.

sorry to be such a newbie on this question, but what exactly do the Mip CVDs do to improve perfromace on this truck ( is it just a durability issue & if so I have never broke a dogbone)

 

[scale_only_4_me]

Mostly as durability issue, but they do reduce the slop in the rear end.
The biggest advantage is they won't pop out of the out drive hubs, a comon problem with the stock dog bone set up

a737, how much do the cvd's cost? Are they the shiny cvd's?

 

[scale_only_4_me]

$30-$35, deals on ebay all the time
get the ones with 3/16" axles and change the rear bearings if you have the older 1/4" version

the come in black, shinny, and aluminum

MIP CVDs FOR TEAM ASSOCIATED
MIP CVDs(constant velocity drives) Stock replacement universal drive axles for most RC cars, buggies, and trucks. Precision machined of alloy steel, hardened for strength, and finished with a black oxide rust preventive coating. CVDs have near zero backlash, the most positive acceleration available, and no binding. MIP CVDs are completely rebuildable with all parts sold separately, and installation requires no modifications.

Shiny CVDs: Five time world championship winning MIP CVDs (constant velocity drives) are also available with our new Shiny coating. Not just for looks, Shiny CVDs are stronger and last longer. Shiny CVD bones are available in pairs as well as in complete kits.

Aluminum CVDs: The new lightweight aluminum alCVDs drastically increase acceleration and top end speed without sacrificing durability. They are manufactured from a very high grade aluminum stock, and then bright dipped and anodized with a sexy blue gray finish.
