So hey, do you still have your stock CV joints? mine wore down to plastic, then the front drive axle couldn't spin the front tires. I bought some small diameter rod, used a glue gun to put it in the plastic cut i made, and its not strong enough, how did you manage to get past this problem? I'm stuck I might as well unplug the front motor till i resolve this problem, but 2 wheel drive crawler would suk! lol anyways. i couldn't see your pictures of what you did to fix the front cv joints
