RE: Robitronic Mantis official topic
Have you noticed the rear drive-shafts popping out much? The one on the right rear side seems to pop out now on my Mantis for some reason. It didn't used to do this......lately however, I would lose the right-rear dogbone while driving hard into a right-hand turn. When I played with the rear hub, I found that I could literally twist it enough (barely) to pop the dogbone back in. I was surprised really, to find so much flex in the rear hub assembly. I left the track and packed it in after looking for my dogbone the second time.
So, in addition to buying the cvd's for the rear, I think it would also be a good idea to order the rear aluminum hubs. I would imagine that having even a portion of that flex removed would help the Mantis to feel a bit more planted in the dirt and give the driver a more predictable response.
