This seems to make them last a good bit longer, but be careful on the first 2 or 3 laps, they can be wierd. For sweeps, such as 32's or 36's they like side to side. Not sure on Jaco's as our LHS doesnt stock them. These are my personal findings so if others want to say something as well it may be best to get more opinions and findings

Im running sorex 28's jb and sweep 30's exp!

Hey guys quick question at my track last week the fastest guy was running an xray and i noticed inbetween heats his mechanic was dremeling out some of the excess plastic from the suspension arms.....does this allow the car to turn in with more speed because the arms flex a bit more?

I know the original ones were 50 mm, and I had lots of success with them. Does anyone know if the V2 Spec-R's are 52 mm? If not I think RSD is considering/going to make 52 mm Xray ecs drives.

I casually measured the Spec-R shafts when I was replacing the stock 52mm shafts and I think they were actually about 51.2mm. Seriously. I measured from drive pin to wheel pin and subtracted the difference and although I don't think I was 100% accurate because I was just curious I did use a nice caliper.
