Traxxas upgrade CV axles

[Endlessnitro]

Hi guys i just upgraded my t-maxx 3.3 with traxxas cv axles and the first time i ran it 2 of the four axles poped out by the diff. on the dog bone side. i only ran it about 5 to 10 mins. when this happend. I looked at it after i put them back together and they both sit right on the tip of the howsing. Why is this? There is no way to ajust them. (that i see). Has this happen to anyone else? If not i'm going to call traxxas. (Not a happy camper) Thankyou any info wound be great.

Either the pivot balls are not screwed into the a-arms far enough or the drive cups you are using are too short.

Snook Man. The pivot balls are right (I have a RPM true track in the rear) and the drive cups came with the axles. As i said they are traxxas cv axles (They come complete) ment for the truck. Thankyou thow.

No problem, glad to help. A few millimeters can mean a lot when talking about cvd's and drive cups.
