Mtxl dogbone pops out

[neeper]

Has anyone experienced the rear dogbones popping out on small jumps? My mtxl is all stock except for a tuned pipe

Adjust the droop screws on the lower arms ??. Sounds like the lower arms are dropping to far down, dogbone pops out. it should stop that from happening plus save your shocks??

 

[neeper]

Where are the droop screws on the lower arms? There’s only one position the lower shock mounts to. The top of the shock is mounted in the center hole.

Here where I have circled??

So here is what to do??
Put y rig on a box/stand wheels off the ground ?? then adjust the droop so you can see that the dogbone is still making good contact/in the outdrive??

I see the little headless screws in the holes. They are already quite far in, should I put longer screw in or just tighten the existing one a few more turns?

 

[DougStar]

Just adjust the one you got??
If you like I could send a pic of my losi???

 

[neeper]

Sure a photo would be greatly appreciated!

 

[DougStar]

Ok so my rig is right up wheel off the ground ??
Front

Back

No way the dogbone will pop out??
So adjust till it looks like this??

 

[neeper]

The screws in my rear arms are screwed quite far in already. I think they’ll come out of the other end.

 

[DougStar]

Is it touching on the other side?
If it is you only need to turn x2 full rotations max . They were made the right length for your rig.??If they not touching you worried pop a new long bolt in there??

 

[neeper]

here’s a picture of the other side and the amounts it’s out

 

[DougStar]

Mmmmmmm which one pops out the rear? maybe you should get the boot and check out the drive cup? could be another reason why??

 

[neeper]

The right rear one popped out, the cups look fine. No damage or wear on them. How much left right play movement should the dogbone have?
I am able to move the front dogbones about 2mm side to side. The rear ones slide about a centimetre or two. I’m wondering if is the wrong dogbones in the rear. Do you know what the dogbone lengths are for the front and rear?
I measured the rear dogbone and it’s 7” long

 

[DougStar]

Mmm not sure of the length of the dogbone ? 2cm is not right? did you get your rig used?

 

[neeper]

Used, I traded a mavic pro for it. I am unable to find the length of the dogbones online

 

[DougStar]

Mmmmm ask @evssv he had one
This is a pic off rcmax UK of mtxl dogbones they look all the same length ?
Maybe you have a dbxl one in there?

 

[Seandonato73]

They are all the same length front and back. The dbxl is way too short for the mtxl. You should have next to no movement from your drive cups. Sounds like it time to pop a few things apart and check it out.

 

[evssv]

mine never popped out ?..but then it never had much use

 

[neeper]

Fronts have cvds. Should I just get another set of the front cvd set for the rear?

I'd test fit a front cvd on the rear to see if it'll work?
before u buy any?
