Experience with thing cv's 'vs' bus cv's whats better ?

This is where I got my 930s if you could luck out an get them for 300 that would b a good deal.

What do you mean your in limp mode?

Thing and bus type 2 are identical. A 930 cv will tale more angle than a type 2 and is stronger due to the width and larger ball bearings.

They are not the same. I've had good luck with both.

you can use the vw Jetta inner 100mm thats what i use

The thing cv is a type 4 and a bus is a type 2. They are the same except on the type 4 it has a larger opening on on the outer part ( where the axle splines into ) of the cage and runs a smaller ball so it has more articulation. The bus runs out at 17 degrees and the thing type4 runs out at 22 degrees.the thing cv is also just a little thicker I mean it's still a 100mm circumference but a little bit longer so I guess I should have just said they are not the same,lol.

So do you think. that the ball bearings are smaller would make the type 4 stronger than the type 2

Conventional thinking would be that the larger ball CV type 2 would be stronger which is why VW developed them for the heavier bus. Thing CV's were designed with more angular deflection and the balls are between car and bus in diameter size and for a buggy are strong enough. One other thing to consider is if you build your buggy to use type 2 CV's they are easier to come by out in the pucker brush when you need to borrow one. JMHO

So are these like a bus or a type 4 ?

Ok my point is the type 4 or thing if you will has a stronger cage because of the smaller balls.the bus cv cage is not as thick because of the larger balls.and the type 4 and type 2 use the same flanges. Plus you get more angle out of type 4

I ran type 4 cv's on my old buggy for 6 years and never had a failure. I sold the buggy to rail1914 last year and they are still going strong.

The smaller ones always seemed better to me

I DO NOT FREE BASE COCAINE

I did a quick check of wall thickness at the bottom of the ball groove and the type 2 is .412 and the type 4 is .439 which is .027 more for the type 4. I've seen lightened 930's for racing and am curious how thick they end up being.

When you find out let me know thanks for the info

If it has bigger balls. Well you know what I mean.

Its not in the balls lol
