HD Bones or CV's

[ScooterB]

I'd like some opinions on which is the better upgrade. HD dogbones or CV joints? Seems every time I take my trucks out anymore I'm either blowing a diff carrier bearing or breaking a dogbone. Time for upgrades.

I would say if you are breaking dogbones go with XL/Flux bones

I have to agree with The Pope on the XL bones. CVD's from everything I have heard never last on a savage. I wish there were a set out there to handle the bashing.

+1 with Alex & Jason on this. ive snapped the standard & heavy-duty bonz with my nitro mill, upgrade to SHD & have run a couple gallons, no issues.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I had been told to look at FLM bones in the past but I cant connect to their site anymore. Does anyone have any info on those. They were much larger but fit the stock x cups.
Quite a bit less money than an xl bone conversion.
Has anyone used these? How do they hold up?

Here is a link for FLM:

You could always hit Nick up at SMF he carries the FLM parts also:

Does anyone have info on the SHD bones from the trans to the diffs? I cant find anything on them on HPI's site. Only for XL which wont work on an X.

ya the CVD'S don't hold up worth a darn great advice above!!!!
