i have a RC10T that i started driving again after 6 years that its been sitting. my problem is that when i have the truck up in the air (lifted) with me holding it from the bottom. the CVD'S look like there barley hanging on the diff cup .one side even pops out often . my question is is this normal or do i have the wrong CVD arms installed. and if so what CVD arms do i need to install to get rid of this problem.

Too much droop. You need to limit your down travel. -Jeff

How do I do that?

put limiters inside the shocks.

Can you please tell me where I can find these limiters. What's the pArt number? Sorry for all the questions .just don't know where to get these parts.

u can either use the nylon shock cartridges peices that come on the plastic tree of parts on a shock rebuild kit.

mst guys will take nitro fuel tubing, and cut exactly 2 peices the same length and run them inside the shaft inside the shock to limit the length of the shock

You shouldn't need to limit them a whole lot. Alittle will go a long way. 5mm would probably be a good place to start. You could also add some shims to the CVD axle on the inside of the rear hub if room allows, might even swap them to the inside instead of the out side like their directions describe.

they are plastic spacers that go under the pistons. when the shock gos back together it will be shorter in length.

Ok thanks for the great advice guys .I will try the fuel tube tip.

I personally don't like the fuel tubing, as it can compress (because it is not stiff like a plastic spacer). I used to use this method, but had several dogbones pop out during hard crashes. The suspension would get pulled the wrong way in a crash, and the dogbone (or cvd in this case) would pop out, similar to what you are experiencing here. IF you can rustle them up, use plastic spacers. -Jeff

u could always slight sand edges of extra pistons and use them under the eclip
