RE: jacked up Savage problem
the angle of the CVDs on a jacked up savage are severe.
I have 1 jacked up and 1 lowered..both have been ok with RCBEST cvds from ebay.
get some cvds and lose the dogbones.

RE: jacked up Savage problem
Have you tried a short section of fuel line between the diffential and the bone? It stops the bone from going all the way into the cup and falling out of the other stub axle end. I picked the idea from the RC10GT guys and use it in my 25. It is surprising how long that little bit of fuel tubing will survive getting pounded. BB

RE: jacked up Savage problem
oh yeah BUDBUD,done that myself for years to take slop out of bones,honestly i think what caused this was a combination of slipper a little tight,swamp dawgs,shear weight,and a Force.32,something had to give
