Super-secure outdrives

Chris Giles >> San Diego, CA
It isn?t unusual to lose the drive pins in a buggy’s center CV driveshafts when the setscrew that holds them loosens. Here?s a way to avoid this: slide heat-shrink tubing over the outdrives to prevent the pins from sliding out if the setscrew loosens. As a further precaution, put heavy-duty
liquid thread-lock on the setscrews.
