Outdrive wear!

[JasonC]

Hi all, I notice that the rear outdrive wears really fast. after about 3-4 packs I starts to notice wear, then it starts to groove it, while the pin on the universal look like new.

Any solution to the problem?

Thanks

what type of track are you on? maybe too must dust is getting in at the outdrive, or maybe you on on very high traction.. which will make parts wear quicker.. not 3-4 packs though... that's near academy buttery!!

I have also noticed that the rear outdrives wear really fast. I changed to the B4 rear hubs and CVD's and that helped some, but they still wear more than I would expect. The B4 rear CVD's seem to have a longer pin on the outdrive side, so I think this helps. The Yok universal pin is just shy of the outside of the outdrive, so I think it accelerates the wear. The fronts do not seem to have the same problem.

I honestly didn't notice this during the review - maybe I'm just not quick enough . I wonder for stuff like this, wether a user comment feature would be a good addition, to inform people of ongoing longer term problems that occur ??? (for all cars, not just this fine example)

i found this aswell, i went through 4 packs then i sold the car lol. does anyone want to send me there old ones? i can see if i can get them made in a stronger material.

sounds like they havent been heat treated then,same as the academys.

if they have enough carbon in you can heat treat them yourself as i did with the academy ones.
