CVD SHAFT WEAKNESS ON MAYHEMS: My buddy just got his sportwerks mayhem and it's a great car but we noticed that the front CVD's bent VERY easy. I have a Hyper 8 and I had spare CVD's in my tool box. We thought we would see if they would work in his car as they are much tougher. Well they are the perfect length but we ran into only one snag. The pins for the drive hubs are 2 different sizes between the two cars. The Hyper 8 drive pin is smaller so what we did was drill the hole in the shaft to match his bigger drive pins and presto the thing is super tough now. The parts are very hard so a good cobalt drill is manditory or it will just dull right away. Cobalt drill tips: slow speed, oil it, and good pressure on it and it will drill it.

Option 2 would be to use the drive assembly and CVD's off the Hyper 8 and they will fit right in, you just have to buy a couple more parts then you need.

Hope this helps.... I know he's giddy again now that we aren't straightening his bent up CVD's after every run.

Great handling car... SW .21 is a stout nitro mill too!!!!
