HPI Dogbone Center Driveshaft Mod..

Never heard of that, but I'm listening!

Although, mine is a 1" extended chassis, so it probably won't work for me.

I am hearing more about this after I tore the driveshaft out of my truck last night... I hear the 77mm dogbone needs some o rings in the drive cups, wondering if the 78mm shaft from HPI works http://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=HPI86057

any ideas??

Probably would. I''ve already recieved the dogbone, still waiting on the drive cups. So I'll have to see how it goes...

Well I got the drive cups and threw everything in. Everything fits fine and rotates smoothly as far as I can tell. I haven't gotten a chance to run it yet. I did put o-rings in the drive cups. It seems to give the shaft a little bit of cusion. Heres a pic..This is my first attempt at posting a pic so bear with me....

Very nice....I had always wondered about doing that. Is that a 3.3 Maxx or a 2.5 with some gray parts?

Its a 4909 3.3 but I'm pretty sure I've got all 4908 parts on it now, extended chassis included. Running a picco p2.

I bet Olds didn't pay attention to the forum this thread is in,he was probably expecting this mod to be on a Savage becuase he always having them wear out.

Nice mod! Thanks for the info.

Not just Olds.....hmmm...I though I remembered a guy who said he could make some that were bulletproof. He used to be on this forum. Hey Olds...remember what that guy's name was? :ahem:

Man, what a moron! Says something like that then still hasn't come through...... :shrug:
