Run the Tamiya 53597, they're a good solid uni. I briefly sold and used the Spec R cvd's. Yes they eliminate wheel chatter and smooth out the drive train, but if you hit anything or roll over there is a good chance they will break. I had a number of complaints about them. One racer simply swapped from a diff to a spool and the stress was enough to break them. I can't comment on the Yeah Racing brand as I haven't used them.
