IMO this one is supposed to be the same with tamiya's Evo1 ~ Evo3 concept of one piece shaft,

except your chassis has no flex at all longitudinally, I think this might cause some gear mesh problem,
it is due to the nature that the chassis is then allowed to flex a little (could be good for traction on average asphalt track),
but the one piece shaft is not allowed to flex at all for perfect gear mesh front and rear gearbox..

The Evo4 then using 3-piece design (original TC3), even evo5 using CVD style shaft,
