Stupid dogbones

[neenrucb]

I have an AE RC10GT and I just had the dog bone come out while driving, luckily I was able to find it. I have had it come out before, just not totally to the point where I lose power to my wheels. Anyway, is there anything I can do to keep these suckers in? Is there some sort of conversion I can get?

Thanks for all the help.

One way - use a small pc of fuel tbg in the drive cup to generate some tension so its not loose. Some use a small spring in the drive cup - a cut down ball point pen or something like that. Sounds like its time to get some spares, not going to be lucky forever.

Fuel tubing works best IMO. springs are annoying and add resistance. With my friends rc10gt I had to put the fuel line in the wheel end drivecup not the differential side. You can check for yourself, check for play and see which side has to much play. Maybe you need fuel on both drivecup ends.

Either MIP or RPM, (I"m pretty sure it was MIP) used to make a kit for the RC10T that included universal joints designed to replaced the dogbone setup. A friend of mine has them on his RC10T and they work great. I doubt this particular kit is made anymore but maybe you could find some second-hand.

replace them with MIP CVD's. had them in my T3 a few years ago. awesome! never had a problem with them

The fuel tubing/spring trick certainly is cheaper, but we know you always get what you pay for. If you feel like spending the money, the MIP (as suggested in the previous posts) would be your best bet for reliable power delivery. Here you go:
