Left Joint Cup
I recently heard that if you use a stage 2 motor your left joint cup will break. Could someone tell me what the left joint cup is and why it breaks?
Thanks,
Kelley

A friend and I who both race stage 2 motors with IC-3 batteries have broken ours. We broke them within a week of eachother, and had to buy AWD kits to keep driving. I heard the replacement parts were all metal, so that would help.

I've been using a stage 2 motor with 6 cells and driving like a lunatic and mine is still holding up just fine.

12414314 - JOINT CUP CENTER SHAFT $2.49
12414322 - JOINT CUP CENTER LEFT $2.49
the two cups..i bought 2 left and 1 center joint...$10 plus tax with shipping
I think the plastic part can't take the stress from the more powerful motors.
