Re: Getting back in... rear hub carriers / CVDs

RC10 buggy carriers will work as well. They use a different bearing and the geometry is a little different. Regular dog bones and axles are probably the most readily available thing, not that they are cheap. The motor is a 15 turn double, or 15X2. Two strands of wire, wrapped fifteen times around ea...
