CVD pin coming out?

[ryan_93]

The pin that goes through my cdv keeps coming loose and is now halfway out after a 5 minute race. I have thradlocked the grub screw in and puched the pin back in but it still comes loose. Does anyone know why it will be coming out or how to resolve the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

bit over the top but i thread locked the whole thing and that seemed to work for me mate but i had heard that the x6 does thta but i ve prob heard wrong

I had a similar problem with an Xray 009 so I slipped on some heatshrink over the joint so the pin can't "escape".....

Easiest fix is once the grub screw is locktighted in place, put a small bit of heatshrink over the top of the joint including the pin so it cant back out

try taking the grub screw out and get a plat file and file the bottom flat,then make sure you use a proper tool and not just a crappy allen key,i also find if the joint is dry it works the pin out as the whole thing moves and not the two parts

If you put heat shrink over make sure you still check the grub screw every so often so that you know it is tight or you drive shafts will move.

Or you can fit the new C-CVD bones from MIP that have the locking threaded ring and no grub screw to worry about....
