I have the Savage X and I twisted the hell out of the wheel dogbones. I haven't had a problem with the center ones yet, but it would be the next weakest link. Key word is yet.

why I ask is because I was driving and suddenly noticed that it would rev really easy and not really get going. I picked up the truck assuming I'd see that one of the diff cup screws was gone (had this happen a few times), instead I see that I'm missing the rear center dogbone. I must have broke it and it flew off.

I beleive the hd's would serve you well. I have not tried the center ones yet, but I beleive they work. I think as long as the chassis doesn't flex alot, you'll be alright. Someone stop me if I'm lying.

I was having the same problem. Now I have the HD's out to the wheels and they seem to hold up better but I still have busted a few ends off. I assume it is from weard landings where things bend and get snaped from the torque. However I have a very heavy rear center dogbone now as i went to the FLM ext. chassis. I think this bone is over 1/4" in diameter.

Yea, we like mangled REVO's over here. lemme see? cmon, cmon,
I would personally not waste the money on the HD dogbones. I would stick with the stock. It's always better to have a cheap weak link. There is not much very much diff at all in the HD to the stock. When you put them on a press they bend at the exact same pressure! I have never tried the diff in the force of twisting the 2. The twisting of the dog bones have alot to do with the inertia that is being moved.
