I bought the Jato CVD kit that MPI makes and everything fits except the bones are too long. I cut the bones down to 1.400" and put the two ends in a round vise and tig welded the pieces together. We then put the bones in a rotary to check for straightness and they were perfect. I only did the rear since that was the end giving me problems. $35 and my time/welding was all it took. The old saying, " if there's a will, there's a way"!

Yes, they are 1/8th scale Mugen wheel/tires with the wolf pack radical adapters. The home modded CVD's are still holding up

Send me a busted one (or give me all the measurements) and I'll see if I can't make a heavy duty one.

Thanks Nuke. The measurement is 1.5" from end to end "BUT" the end that slides into the output shafts are big. They are the MIP Jato ends.

I actually need bigger diamter than the ones that I made up because I did snap one of the modded ones but I don't think I had enuff heat when welding it. The break was clean where I welded at and there was no heat stains showing signs of melting steel together. I can send you an end to see what you can do. The MIP bones are .130 but are too skinny. I would need .190 to .200 to make sure that they wouldn't break or cause any problems.
