Has anyone found a permanent fix for our drive cup problem? I've read reports of the HR drive cups breaking as well.
Ha! Run it with a NiMH battery. Either that or JBweld the dogbones into the drivecups. The biggest issue to failing drivecups is the slop. If the slop can be taken care of, it should fix the problem. Either that or CVD's will take care of it. With the pins on the dogbones not fitting tight into the cup, it allows them to "snap" to seat itself to get power to the wheels. Overtime, it leave indents in the cup and weakens it.
