yeah man I know what you saying. the revo has double ended plasitc cv shafts but not the steel ones there cvd's I really like hpi parts for the ss I have another car that the drive cups always get huge grooves in and the hpi parts are way stronger. So I put the mt2 18ss parts into my redcat much better. someone had mentioned using a lube that goes on wet but dries after you put it on so it wont attract dirt but I cant remember what it was....
