Cat5 Diff Cup Sleeves Vs Dog Bone Pins

[pwaicon]

And the winner is the dog bone pin. I guess my 30.5 just has too much power because the pin powered through the diff cup sleeve. I still need to inspect the other ones to see how close they are to busting through.

nice work!! it looks like the pins just slid thru.. how does that custom shock shaft work? send me a link. could could use a few like that

Unfortunately the factory stopped making them like that so they are very rare and hard to come by. In reality that is just my wife’s fish eye lens playing tricks on you.

wow that serious i hope mines don't do that

Actually that should still be fine for a while at least, and i'm sure cat5 will send you a replacement. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

PEEKABOO. LOL Guess the pin started migrating in that direction, and the aluminum retainer ring was no challenge for the hardened steel drive pin.

Yep, no green Loctite as I thought I wouldn’t need it with the retaining rings. Needless to say I guess I will be picking some up this week and applying it to all my pins. Thanks for the reminder Moo.

I'm sorry to see that you pin worked it's way through the sleeve. When you installed the sleeves, did you grind the excess length off the pins? If not, the pins will dig their way through the sleeves. Please PM me your information so I can take care of your damage sleeve.

Does anyone know were I can get those sleeves? I saw large scale has them but they want $19.00 to ship to Canada :/

I think Large Scale is the only one who sells them; they are the ones who introduced them to the market. I am sure if you email them they might be able to work with you on the shipping.

Yep, I shorten all the pins on the dogbones, I think it was just a case of too much power coupled with loose pins. I appreciate the offer, you guys have always taken care of me.

Go ahead and place the order. We'll correct the shipping rate and only bill you the actual. If you use PayPal, we'll refund the difference. If your order is small, we'll try to fit it in the Priority Mail flat rate envelope for $13.00. It's still a lot I know, but that's the actual cost. Bummer. If you have any questions about the shipping options, call largescalerc.
