How durable are the fastlane drive cups

I have them on my Baja and they are tough, practically zero wear on them over 3-4 gallons
And I beat the poop out of my Baja

thank you that's reassuring I've never used them before

 

[Z.hb71]

Plus they have lifetime warranty ?

I didn't even realize that

 

[crucialRC]

I have them too. Haven't tried em yet but they look the business

 

[rcaddict!]

Their not too bad but If want ultimate and using high torque engine, drag racing and such go with ALX....

Aren't those IRC ?

Life time warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear, or bent shafts. That said, only shafts that have made it in the center of the dbxl.

All the drivetrain that I have seen looks to be machined from bar stock except diff gears. I think if it were to be forged like snap-on forges there impact tools there would probably be almost no breakages and better wear resistance. And if angular contact bearings were to be used instead of radial bearings the drivetrain would have less slop and last longer.

 

[Seandonato73]

Broken many, many snap on tools..... and I think they use radial bearings because of cost and availability. The drive trains typically don't give much fuss, especially once you have a few bits upgraded.

Oops?

I have them on my baja 5T for the past 15-20 gallons and still running like a charm.

Literally depends on the power plant. Anything over a 50cc and they are a time bomb. Anything under a 50 and you should be good to go

You have a good point sometimes I over think things and I know the cost would be much higher.
