OK -- I got my clutch bell fixed -- thanks guys
I still have not been able to get ahold of redcat about the CV shafts so I may just give up on them for now so I can get back out there.
I was twisting the original dogbones even before the mods and now I have taller gearing, taller tires and more power so I will probably eat them quick.

Does anyone know a tougher dog bone or a CV shaft that will fit
hopefully will have this together this weekend and post pics and a list-- quite a few mods -- tripled the price of the car and a month of working on it

thanks again
