CVD driveshafts for Typhon 3s

[morrjr71]

I can't seem to find any good CVD driveshafts for my Typhon 3s that might stand up to 4s power. According to the Arrma web site, the Arrma CVDs aren't for the Typhon, and I've heard nothing but bad things on the Hot Racing and GPM CVDs. Has anyone here found some that don't fail after just a few runs?

I'll have some custom driveshafts fixed up in a few days. I could sell the full kit to you if you're interested.

They use parts from the 3s cvds and Kraton 6s dogbones. You put Kraton 6s hubs on the rear a-arms, with a bit of shimming. They only work with the rear though.

I just need to weld this up, as it snapped on me on 6s.

Been asked a 100 times before. Some have custom modded complete new ones with much effort. As above posted.
But for most, you have to live with this. 4s on the 4x4 platform is what it is. Already maxxed out on 3s.

The normal cvd work on typhon arms??

I have GPM CVDs on my Big Rock which is the same chassis and arms as the Typhon. I've been running 4s for about 6 months and have not had any problems. The GPM CVDs hold up just fine.

They do, but they have the crappy Granite small axles only. Have to add an adapter for 17mm hub....and those axle stubs break.

Oh ya, forgot about that. Never had the axle break. I have run GRP with 6s launches Arrma 6s MT tires. The hexes and pins (14mm) material is so bad

Anything running 4s and above needs 17mm hex axels. Is what it is.
Just look at most all of the stock 4s rigs out there and you will see what I mean.

Honestly, you should build a 4s arms/cvds typhon. Get the 4s CVDs, arms, tie rods, front and rear hubs. You will only break diffs on 4s then. Lol.

Will look like this

In case you missed it, I installed the Arrma CNC steel diff assemblies two days ago, so I should be good to go for diffs.

Input and ring gear not the issue. I keep going through the output shaft gears. Not much you can do other than keep a loose slipper.

Get a set of GPMs for the rear only. You'll be fine up front. Mine have been flawless for 3 or so months of epic abuse. Well, Epic to me anyway... Still holding up for now. The pin is stretching the stud, so it won't be long before it goes...
I've probably saved 100 in 3S CVD replacements in that span of time...

Someone told me about these guys. Their website stinks, but maybe they make them for our rig

Are the GPM driveshafts for the Big Rock the same length as those on the Typhon 3s?

Pretty sure they stated they have no plans to make anything for Arrma after their cvds for the 6s were a flop.

Yes.

broke a set with 6 packs ran through them

Im running arrma cvds in the rear of my Big Rock. Don't like how little they overlap/insert. but no issues after a month or so.

Are they all metal?

No. The outdrives are but the middle is still a composite https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR310870
