DarkSoul Gen 3 Dogbones with New Pin Design 5B 5T HPI

DarkSoul Generation 3 Dogbones with all new pin design. The best dogbones in the business for your hpi baja 5B or 5T With the 4mm round pin, you are applying all the drive pressure on a very small area only a few thousandths wide on the tangent of said round pin. This is pretty much the equivalent of a knife edge. Over time, this will wear to a somewhat flat surface, but by this time, you have grooved either the drive cup, or the drive pin, or a little of both which in turn now creates slop, this slop is potentially disastrous since now the drive pin can bang back and forth when on and off the throttle creating a severe stress point.
With our new design, you get many advantages. To start, the drive surface of the pin is 4.5mm wide, so there is a wide flat surface now pushing on the drive cup. The center part of the Gen. 3 cross pins are 6mm in diameter, this added diameter allows the pin to self-center inside of the drive cup without being able to slide out in either direction, so no set screws are needed. The cross pin will rotate so there is no binding while the suspension articulates through its range. As well, you can continue to use your stock drive cups, although now that the pins/bones are all but indestructible, you may want to beef up the cups with some TOOBZ.
The one thing to keep in mind however, is that YOU MUST RUN GREASE AND BOOTS. The cross pin needs to have lubricant on it at all times. We strongly recommend Fast Eddy grease and either Hostile Boots  or at the very least the stock HPI boots.
Note:
Failure to lubricate and protect these pins will increase their wear unnecessarily. f
