i found this while on daves motors http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.8576/.f is there anything like this available for the redcats ....i think it would be a viable option for people runnin obrs especially with the mt's heavy ass wheels

I saw that also. Demon RC mentioned it could be a future project. I would run those if they fit. I don't think it would be possible to break them. The only week point would be center dog bones. So if those were also that style we would have a built proof drive train.

I've been following their thread on HBF. Apparently they can take a beating. I love the idea of an enclosed diff cup.

they are a bit pricey but in the long run theyd pay for em self with not having to replace dog bones or drive cups that alot of us mt owners chew thru alot ive been fortunate enough to only break one drive cup last winter on a 25 degree day off a jump

Nice I think they array well worth the price never having to buy dogbones again? Priceless.

I have heard mixed reviews on the FG version of this type of design...

I can tell you guys this. They run smoother than traditional dogbones. But they are still prone to wear, ball/pin loss, bending/breaking just like regular dogbones. IMO spend your money elsewhere.

what we really need is a solid cup with slots internally for pins... the fact that our drive cups are slotted for the pins is what makes them weak

I actually have some CAT5 cup sleeves that were designed to alleviate potential cup weakness.

Agreed. Fully enclosed cups would be ideal.
