Dogbone issue

[Ice_2k]

So, this happened:





The little screw came loose, the pin went out, did some small damage to the chassis and basically left me with a useless dogbone. Did this happen to anyone else? Am I supposed to open all these small screws on all dogbones and loctite them?...

And put a flat in the pin as well

 

[Ice_2k]

No idea what that is

On the new pin, make a small flat spot with a dremel, halfway down and about 2mm deep.

Yesterday (08/13/2015) out running my car and took a spill (rolled). Later noticed the front left wheel now spins freely. Haven't taken the car apart as of yet to determine all the damage, however, need to know what size dog bone is needed for the front wheel?

The v3 Dunerunner uses CVA's for the link between the diffs and the wheels, not normal dogbones.

So 50034 will not work as a replacement part?

You'll probably find that it's a drive cup that's broken.

They break inside the diff where the pin goes thru

No. You can only use them if you also buy the old style stub axles.

i have been looking for these pins to replace. not seeing them as separate from set up. is there a part # for JUST the pin?

 

[RampageHopUps]

Not from Redcat. Davesmotors and Largescalerc have them separate. Or if you have an Ace Hardware near you.

I quite some time ago cut the right size drill bits off to length and put a flat spot in center and they're still working till this day. quick fix and durable.

thanks Rob, will give a look and get some next round of orders, hardware store here only has rolled pins, it is the first place i looked

i have done same and it works well, an excellent use for spent 1/8" bits indeed.

thanks for help , felt like i was missing something the moment i noticed they had set screws
