I’ve now had multiple issues with Vitavon parts. In the past I’ve considered them well engineered, my opinion is changing, though.
The spline drives are 1mm longer than the factory, and they have a rounded end. The rounded end keeps them from seating properly in the Arrma EXB cup, combine that with the 1mm extended length, and now we have fitment issues! The most I could adjust camber to was +3, which is just bad. Positive camber should not be ran, but nothing I could do. So I messaged Vitavon with pictures and descriptions, asking for their help. They basically told me it was my problem, and didn’t even wish me good luck… being past my return window now, I was set to find the answer. The solution was I had to buy their diff cups, because they designed their parts to fit their stuff…apparently. They offered no refunds, no advice, and no support. I sent them pictures of everything working to tell them their parts needed refining, and again, no help, no response.
TBH I lost my faith in @Vitavon, and they may have lost a lot of business from me.
