--- Quote from: "muddyweb" ---Much heavier too !!  I tend to carry a couple of CV's just in case... can't imagine having the space to carry 2 complete hubs around.

On a lot of the events I've done, you don't get the chance to have a 'parc ferme' in which to keep those big, heavy bits... you have to work in the field / bog / forest / puddle that you happened to be in at the time !

Agreed, I guess that is one of the main differences between the various branches of our sport.

Sure they are heavy, and that's why I have been taking a service vehicle to events with me.  We have a van now for the purpose, but even then it is pretty easy to overload that with the kit I now carry.  Its not necessary, but I'm glad of it when things go wrong.

I do mainly Hillrallies where if you have a problem as big as a CV failure in stage and you can't get out in 2wd, there just isn't time to rebuild the axle (let alone any desire to carry any spares in the competing vehicle!).

In the service areas, on average you have 30-45 minute to fix any problems so again the best way is to swap whole units for speed.
