RCV axles ---- BIG PROBLEM ----

[Yukon Joe]

I know RCV is working hard to fix the problem. I know the guy working directly with them and giving them input on designs changes to make sure the problem goes away. I have seen 2 different sets in the last month. They are close.

Chris Ross is using a one-off that was designed specifically for his truck and the added travel. RCV took a quite sometime to get those made for Chris but they worked during the first two test runs with no issues.

But was Chris actually running 4 wheel drive??

I personally saw Ricky Johnson use 4WD to get the truck turned around in a deep sand wash when the rear end was buried. It worked the few times he used it I saw. That was the 2nd time the truck was in the dirt. I was not there the first time so I any say for sure. I assume Stewart Raceworks used 4WD to ensure it works. Shops typically won't put something like that together and not test it. Especially when you plan to send it to a customer in Cabo San Lucas MX that will use 4WD on a daily basis. There's another test session coming up in a few weeks and I'm pretty sure I'll be there to get more info.

You might want to reread my post. Chris Ross isn't using the same RCV axles as a stock Raptor. His truck is set up a little different than a stock Raptor. One has nothing to do with the other. Another person entirely is testing the next gen RCV axles on a daily basis.

I ordered custom axles too not gen 2 for stock raptors.....

Maybe they are the same design as the ones being tested on the stock travel Raptor I was referring to?
