of steering and impart aggression to the car.
Both left & right shafts should ALWAYS be the same length at one end of
the car (front or rear).
52mm shafts are recommended for carpet and large asphalt tracks.
50mm shafts are recommended for small-medium tight asphalt tracks.
I really don't get this. The length just places the DCJ deeper in the cup, right? How does that affect traction and steering?
