Mindcrime- The connection between the Rear Center driveshaft and the rear diff pinion is pretty unique looking, any particular reason for the revised design? Durability issues? Also what are some of the defining handling characteristics of the car, i.e; acceleration, on/off power steering, rough track handling and jumping. Thanks
Marcus

Hey Marcus,
The CVd design is to cut down on rotating mass. we have no durability issues at all. Infact the cvd pins are even flat spotted for the set screws.

The car has alot of acceleration, and more steering than any car I have driven, both on and off power. It jumps great, rough track is very good, it will be even better once we have the new big bore shocks, the ones on the car now are like the Mugen shocks, the big bores we are working on are very much like the new Kyosho shocks..
