Raider Looking for upgraded drive cups

[Rowin]

Hello, I own both a BLX and standard Raider. Love them both but with my new backyard track and jump I keep bending my drive cups on both models. I tried to look at past posts to find a solution and found some comments about Team Durango building upgraded parts but I cannot find them. I would like to ether upgrade the drive cups and dogbones or switch to something more durable. I am running 2s on both raiders with the BLX having an upgraded brushless motor but with a moderate kv since I don't want to brake stuff every time I run.

Team Durango was the higher end Race Truggy/Buggy bred version of Arrma. Many of the better quality parts were interchangeable with the Arrma rigs. TD closed business when Hobbico had financial issues well before HH bought them out. TD parts are rare and hard to find right now.

I love your Raiders, I'm so pissed I never got one of the tvp BLX ones when they were out. Now you can't even find them
I forgot to say, quite a bit of parts can be had if you have a decent local hobby shop. Just take one of your cups down, and ask the guy at the counter to match it up. Try to get something from a 2wheel losi, or associated. Maybe even kyosho cups from their older models would work. Sometimes we have to invent our parts supply.

I'll bet redcat volcano rear outer drive cups/shafts would fit. All the Chinese mud brand stuff is very compatible.

Hi

What you need are the newer dog bones that are 2mm or 3mm longer.

Try the 83mm dogbones from Arrma.
