Default cougar drive shafts

hi guys,

thought maybe you could help me here, my drive shafts keeping out they are a few mm short.

i noticed drivers were using cat drive shafts which are longer, but is there another fix?

I going to try some small washers for now.

thanks

This shouldn't happen if you have built it up as per the manual.

Even if you wind out the rear shock ball cups 2 or 3 turns there shouldn't be enough droop for the driveshafts to fall out.

Did you use the short ball cup for the rear shocks?

What is the length of your rear shocks center to center?

What diff height did you build it with?

if thats happening aran you have to much droop mate you want to measure over all shock length from very top to very bottom and it should be no more than 95.5mm

everything is as instructions.

the diff is low.

it only seemed to be on this one jump on the main straight (not the best place to break down)

ill check the shocks
