No mate, never will as it is ment to be a 2WD, so i would just buy the whole car if i wanted a 4WD, less money as i would want the comp and later there will be second hand ones about so will wait...

I want a set of those universals now. schwing. anyone know the part number for those fg universals?
66275. Don't think they will work with a standard set up. They are balls on the other end.

The universals are also longer. My 4WD sportline uses regular dogbones and they are also longer than the rear dogbones.

got me in the right direction but found the full set now. I wonder why it is wider?

I have never owned an mcd so not sure how the outdrives work in them. only had a redcat for a close rc. I have the ball drive set in my semi, I just liked the universal above, sexy part. part universal, part ball drive. good idea for offroad and suspension travel...
Chris, I still think you have some flex in that front end. mcd doesn't make a cvd upgrade?

Oops, forgot to update this thread in a while. Still gotta throw the engine and radio tray on there, waiting on a clutch part.
That's one hot truck. You will have to put up some vids when you get her up and running.

hes selling it. Its on ebay. Buy it the you can post vids
Barry you're part right about the flex. I deducted that the dogbones were popping out when the wheel was turning too much, or getting caught in a turn. I tried lowering my servo throw which helped and then I tighten my servo saver as it had too much slop. Then I put the grommets. I haven't raced it yet. Next Saturday we will see what happens.

Chris, what about adding steering stops like on the fg's. screw something to the knuckle so it hits the arm and stops over turning?

nice. like I said, I have only drooled over pics of MCD's (yes I have always wanted one).
be nice to get that sorted out though. I know you tried stuffing crap in the outdrives and axles. decidam earplugs work good... did you limit the suspension travel too? can't remember.

I put some hard grommets. I had fuel line in there before but its not good for 1/5 scale, works ok on 1/8.
I'm gonna try it out on the track next time i go, as that is the place were it happens the most. We'll see, maybe i fixed the problem already and don't know about it..LOL
