I ran the cvd's last Saturday. The install was easy just like replacing a dogbone but also removing the axle. The fit was ice no end to end slop at all. I would have liked to see grub screws to hold the pin that holds the hub to the axle but that is an easy fix at the local hardware store. The action is smooth. I ran them dry, no grease no boots. I have a 26cc fuelie mill with a RD logics pipe. I am running a 33(a) 27(B) gear setup with steel 25's for c and d. The TT5 has Hostile mini MX's on all four corners mounted to Stock HPI rims in back and RamTech billet centerline rims up front. The back hubs are GBE extended and the front are stock 5b. I did the runs in the field next to my house. It has looks nice and smooth but has many hazards under the smooth dead grass facade. I ran WOT most of the tank and did a couple jumps off the 4 ft hill in the back corner. The cvd on the left rear broke within a couple passes but not to be undaunted there were three left to test so I put a dogbone back in and continued testing. I ran the rest of the day the other three held up. The break was at the joint the ball broke letting the drive shaft come out. At the end of the day I checked the remaining three and found that the pin holding the drive shaft to the axle was sliding out and pushed them back down and made sure the grub screws that hold it in place were tight. Some green loctite or heat shrink would solve that problem. So far I give it an 8 out of 10. I ordered another set to replace the broken one. I will do further testing a week from Saturday with Sprint and Robdog. Hopefully my videographer will feel better so I can get some pics and vids of the "testing".
