dave.723 132 Posted June 17, 2019 Hey, I managed to strip the universals, seems the wheel got a bit loose and so the wheelhub. . Are there any modern direct fit replacements out there ? will a CVD from a DT02 fit ? (Manta Ray, TopForce, ...) Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_B 997 Posted June 17, 2019 Has it stripped the splines on the drive shaft or just the ones in the hex? Not sure on the drive shaft but hexes should be available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MICHAELs TopForce17 583 Posted June 18, 2019 I think the re super astute dog bones will fit. Can also check my top force universals when I get home from work. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-TAMIYA-SUPER-ASTUTE-Joint-Shafts-Drive-Cups-UC9-/143126546627?hash=item215301c8c3 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-TAMIYA-SUPER-ASTUTE-Dogbones-Rear-UC7-/312470504154?hash=item48c0b182da Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave.723 132 Posted June 18, 2019 The splines on the shaft have stripped. If astute uses the same lengths (bones and wheel axles) than this article lists options. Which would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to use modern universals with pin mount for the wheel hub ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7779 Posted June 18, 2019 I think what you need are Blitzer Beetle/Stadium Blitzer uprights which are the same as the astute series but the inner bearing inserts further into the upright. Then you can use modern thundershot/top force axles and shafts. Get one of the monster racer officionados to confirm though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
