Exploding universals when drifting?
 

geez man, the car i bought has had nothing but trouble. fix one thing, next day something else ****s up.



my rear universal stuffed up and i bought 2 more. 3 wks later they have broken aswell.

they basically just snap near the ends where all the pins go into.

should i be using a certain rear universal for drifting or what?

im really pissed about this cuz they arent cheap either!!

somehelppppp! :)

thanks guys

Get a decent car ;)

i already have a decent car...

just not decent universals :(


my mike swauger pro model xpress is full carbon fibre with all the bells and whistles.

the unis keep falling apart though.

any ideas besides "get a new car" ?

Sorry for the glib reply dude

Are the UJ's rebuildable? if so the setscrew needs securing and the pin could do with coating in contact glue before inserting into place

yeh they are rebuildable but where the little pins go the U part has actually snapped clean off!!! and the thing is bloody mate out of metal right??? geeeez!! cant believe it, 2 of them and they arent cheap.


im asking this question cuz i find it really weird that they have actually snapped off rather than vibrate apart.

im curious to know if i should be using a different universal for drifting?
