Re: Where to buy a 'Robot sized' CV Joint

You do not need to use an expensive CV joint.

You can just use two simple Universal Joints in Series (each bent at the same angle) to create a CV joint.

This is called a DOUBLE CARDIAN joint.

If you do not use two, it will not be a constant output velocity.

Hope this helps!
