    Well traxxas needs hurry up and get this out to our LHS. The crazy thing is its available to order on their site but man that's expensive $70 versus $50 and below.

    I went to Hobbytown USA once, and they had every Performance Acsessory you could get your hands on (not to mention the normal parts) for a reasonable price!

    I have tried the gpm cvds they are actually pretty good. The t bone is a little thicker than Traxxas and when I bent a Traxxas cvd I replaced it with the gpm worked fine

    That had made me smile. NO offense jtalaue.

    There is no such thing on MERV, they forgot to include it and unfortunately theres no aftermarket part for that.

    The TRA7052 drive cups and TRA7153 when installed the steel drive shafts doesn't seem to go all the way in its almost to the edge of the drive cup so when I brake it pops out. My pivot balls are screwed almost all the way with the RPM ARMS I don't know what else I can do to get it in there at least half way any suggestions?

    Majority of the steel drive shafts doesn't go even clost to half way in the steel drive cups. I even screwed my pivot balls to the end of the rpm arms and still not looking right.

    can you show some pictures?
    When I get home I'll use my canon dslr camera to take clear and better pictures. I would really hate to have to buy a different set but by the looks of your pictures there must be something that's now set right. Thanks a lot for these pictures if you have more on a top view or whatever I can compare them I would appreciate that. Thanks.

    Any chance you still have the parts bag and/or order receipt, to read the parts no. printed on?
    I think there are Slash CVDs too, maybe you got that. Wouldnt be the first time i heard of a misshipment or order..
    Do you run stock push/tie rods?

    Mine with HR knuckles, RPM arms and GPM linkage:
