dogbone cup

[rc-driver]

my dogbone cup wore out, which cup is durable and fit rampage ?

 

[rc-driver]

seen this a few times...BC Bob's has done a couple and an outdrive cup. Did you temper the shaft? If you did you might have put too much heat at the cup and softened it...if not tempered then you got a soft one from the factory.
I've not had one go like that in a year

does the cup in the upgrade kit have the same problem ?

sorry to say this but the tempered ones i got from rob are doin the same thing but the stock ones are not

Get HPI Baja 5b or 5T drive cup boots fill them with grease and they will last a loooong time. I have boots with grease in them on both ends of each dog bone on all four corners of my Rampage MT. Makes it run quieter with less worries about wear!

My Ramtechs are starting to get notched also. Rob might have heat treated the entire cup instead of just the shaft. The shafts are holding up well though.

My rear cups are doing the same thing also, which caused me to break a dogbone at the tack this past weekend. The dogbone was getting hung up in the groove which put too much stress on it and it eventually gave out, I guess it’s time for a rebuild.

we can't make them last forever right, just buy plenty of stock,

How did they rip?By rocks and stuff hitting it? or they just rip by them selves as they were moving?

 

[kirkhayes37]

The boots I used are the stock HPI ones I found on ebay. Here is another set for consideration. I have had good luck so far with boots. http://cgi.ebay.com/HPI-Baja-DarkSoul-Colored-Dogbones-Boots-Black_W0QQitemZ190342564894QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_Control_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2c514d0c1e

I just ordered the dark soul one.They were on sale for 6.99 each at DDM so I ordered 3 packs of em..I will give em a try.can't hurt I guess

 

[volitan]

mine ripped just with general usage...i run open bones now with no problems

I will use mine and if they rip quick it will open dog bone too for me

 

[rob64n]

i only run them on center dogbones except on the cup by the tank it kinda rubs and wanted to melt the tank so i took if off asap

Hi there, i broke a cup of my FG-Monster the other day and they are massiv, ok, the harder we push our trucks, the more power we give them, even more things will break. i put new cups on the truck and to get sure it splits into two half things again, i put an alloy ring arround it, that was not my idea, cs-electronics (they are building the german rampage) sell those as hop ups.
