4) I love the flipped layshaft from the standpoint that it takes little to no weight to balance left-right. However, with all the weight of the car further inboard how much is handling affected? There must be a noticeable change since there is less moment of inertia.
1) Aluminium
2) They hold up ok-ish, depends what class you do, in mod they wear quite fast...(with TIR spool you dont need blades, but the standard driveshafts dont work with it, you need the TIR drievshafts or a drievshaft with a 2mm pin. Tamiya 46mm steel ones fit.
3)No, there optional 3groove are kit.
4) The team guys over here, i havent seen flip them, i havent either, honestly i dont think theres a HUGE advantage, but each to there own, if your car is balanced left to right, then its all good.
