OK,made the decision to go with the RCV non plunge/fixed 930 cv's. I have zero plunge throughout the entire 24" travel due to H Arms suspension. I bought slip joint axles though. I'm of the opinion that unless your arms and frame are built like a tank there will be some deflection in use and maybe quite a lot. Others seem to be of the opinion that would not be an issue. Opinions?

That's a good idea to have a backup safety built in, because you never know if something is going to  :j :j

I just feel that things deflect a lot more that most of us realize.

Mmmmm.......  I know another guy like you.  ;D  He told me once that he is from the school of thought that when a fly lands on the deck of an aircraft carrier it bends....

But I agree, some things deflect more than you think.

everything has "spring" properties. I have seen some stuff bend without staying bent (deflect) that was just unreal.

There are too many unforseen variables in offroad.  Many of them caused by the driver.  And some amount deflection is a good thing.

if you are seeing 0 plunge through you entire stroke right now then I would say no since I was told that up to 3/8" slip on the splines was ok in this style of cv, so I won't when the time comes to convert mine out but of course this is just 2 cents.

If your cup is deep enough you can get almost an inch of plunge out of the star........ Not that I would recommend it.........

Nor would I as the splines in these cv's,I'm told,is not intended to slip. Intentional tighter fit. 3/8's plunge is about all the cups would allow though.

Yes,I know, we discussed this . I have,as you do,zero plunge. As always tho time will tell.  I'd  PREFER,as you do, to use a solid axle but on the other hand I don't want any additional possible issues during testing of the tranny/adapter drive. Hence the slip shaft axles.

wow when I called it was 235 for 32" 4130 and yes on the additional problems but when I get the time and the rest of the parts I will try it with solid. how long were the axles you were quoted on? I guess with slip and solid axle trials we'll know for sure which is better in the end.  ;D

sorry guys but that price fabbr posted I believe is for 1 axle. not knowing the upgrades but considering what i believe them to be that probably isn't a bad price for american molly instead of china molly! not to meantion what they shot me might have been reflective of the qty 10 order of the 930 np cv's.
