Tamiya TRF416 / TRF416WE / TRF416X

I am running 5.5t on the 416x at the moment, and using the regular front drive shafts... only thing i am doing is running the steel (black) version of them instead of the aluminum (blue) version...(those bend easy given I am on a small track) but oever all have had no issues with them..

some people said the reason why the pin breaks is because of the stress put on to the pin by the grub screw, so i remove the grub screws and secure the pins using heatshrink tubes.
i'll post it when it finally breaks... hopefully not anytime soon....

The SpecR universals have been covered many times in this thread. The general consensus is they work well but don't last that long before breaking. A local guy was running them the SpecR 416 universals in his Photon and they only lasted two runs in 13.5 before snapping.

the package mentioned that it's not designed for mod racing, but i've been using mine in 11.5 racing and after 1 race (6 runs and plenty of practice runs) it still holds up fine. some people said the reason why the pin breaks is because of the stress put on to the pin by the grub screw, so i remove the grub screws and secure the pins using heatshrink tubes. i'll post it when it finally breaks... hopefully not anytime soon....
