Drive Shaft issue

[Chrisco]

No hollow rivets hear bud.

 

[CUSO]

So you used Cherry max? From what I remember, solid rivets need a bucking bar.

Mine also has absolutely no glue coming from join. Recall on A-arm is getting done today and if this holds true, new drive shaft shortly after

How many km on the shafts that failed?

I've heard anywhere from the dealers showroom up to 170 miles. I know the assault doesn't have QD but what shaft is the assault using?? Same design as the pro? Probably not near as many assaults out there.

 

[Teth-Air]

Have 150 kms on mine and there is no glue showing other than out the holes. No sign of damage yet.

Holly phuk cuso were using a avinox stainless rivit where the center pin stay in so your not talking a shitty little aluminum rivet for holding on a snow flap. This it a structural rivet the same thing holding tunnels together on lots of sleds. Like I said Ill try it. but Ill let ya know Cuso

Persistent little guy eh. You must really be worried about the Poo guys, that's nice that you're expending so much concern.

Shoulda posted this in the doo section but since everyone's eyeballing this thread ill post it here. My buddy took his XM for a rip around home and noticed his sled sagging more than it did to begin with. After checking out the skid he noticed that the bolt connecting the upper part of the skid with the slides towards the rear of this fancy t-motion set up had broke. Did some researching and found this on snowest as well.. Same issue.

Hard to tell whats going on there.....but thats alot of stress on one little bolt..... maybe you could improve your internet skills and save the picture and paste it here? Actually, there should be a new thread started on troubles with all the new fangled expensive pro-super-XM mountain type sleds.....lol

The bolt in the pivot is the same shaft size as a xp. It's just not as long.

So I would say its tougher cause its shorter.

i just posted that screen shot from my iPod cuz the pic doesn't really show squat but it shows that my buddy isn't the only one with that issue. Does seen like a lot of stress.. Wondering if it was over tightened or if its going to be an issue?

 

[Chrisco]

[tex78]

Sorry not trying to start an all out bashing thread, figured I'd share that to remind some people that nothing's perfect.

anyways, back on topic.. Any other reported issues with these pro's?

 

[BIGHORN1]

Absolutely no glue showing at all other than the weep holes, the glue in the weep holes is however as hard as a stone. just a few miles around the yard so far, i guess time will tell
