I feel their pain. This happened a couple months back. Luckily, I was still under warranty
After mine happened. I ordered the brace before SS was out of the shop. I installed it within an hour of having it home
Which brand is everyone leaning toward. I was just looking at DDMWorks offering. It looks a little more rugged.

I have ZZP. It is a nice piece. I would have bought from Dave@DDMWorks because I always believe in supporting local... but his wasn't available at the time
I find it very interesting how some owners here have pushed 100,000 miles or more with no issues, I wonder why?

Honestly... do you have a theory? Abuse? What would you consider abuse? I do love the twistys and push hard coming out of corners but I don't burn the rubber off my rear tire.
MADDMOE , We have a bunch of ZZP takeoff braces from customers swapping them out that we need to sell if he needs a "deal" on something.
I'll stick with your DDMWorks brace if I decide to add one.

I replaced my ZZP brace with your DDM brace due to me knowing my driving habits and like pushing this toy hard but to answer some of your theories, DONUTS is the cause of him blowing his angle drive up.....i dont think those of us in our 50s-60s or up in age are doing DONUTS with our slingshots.......could be wrong lol

Dave@DDMWorks have you swapped out a rear angle drive and if so is it a pretty straight forward swap or are there issues to expect .......

We have not done any swaps of the angle drives here, both of our development Slingshots are still on their originals. We have removed the angle drives when doing the 4 wheel conversion though and it is pretty straightforward to remove.

Did he use sprinkles?
i swapped out my angle drive last year. really, no problems, just a PITA to get the new angle drive in there and lined up. My suggestions would be, take the rear wheel off so that when you take the long bolt out that goes through the swing arm and angle drive, you'll be able to push the swing arm aside without disconnecting anything. then use a floor jack to lower the angle drive down when taking out and putting back in. if you don't have a manual, there are two good you tube videos from sam owens about how to align the drive belt and how to adjust its tension. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Good luck! Dave

.....see now thats what i was hoping to hear , that someone else did it and that the job is doable, thats a load off my concious , now ill see if i can tackle it since its being dropped off to me sunday morning......
........ about how long was the job, would you say.....and yes i believe i saw the videos and i do have the shop manual and been going over it
.........so someone has blew up their rear angle drive for the 2nd time ( he likes doing donuts ) and has reached out to me, my question to begin is.......Has anyone done this job of replacing the rear angle drive and if so , any hints or warnings you can pass along
.......I have the shop manual and have been going over the removal & installation steps , it seems pretty straight forward and he purchased a new angle drive from Cheapcycleparts.com ........
Thanks in advance, always !
