original EvoIII shaft

TB-02R shaft - same length as evoIII lightweight shaft but fatter bevel ends (the part that goes into the bevel gear). this is the NON-lightweight version.
and finally... the BLUE lightweight shaft is 2mm longer than the evoIII lightweight shaft AND has the fatter bevel ends. this shaft is 4mm longer than the original evoIII shaft.
if possible, pick up the blue version. ill post the part # when i get home later.

I have a couple questions on the TB-02:
Are the kit tires (slicks), Tamiya "Type A", "Type B", junky kit tires, or something else?
Is adding rear toe-in recommended. My Associated TC-3 has I think 3 degrees rear toe-in, as far as I can tell the TB-02 has 0.
My specific model is the Nissan Xanavi. The TB-02, not the TB-02R.
Thanks.

What about the rear toe in, any opinions?
Thanks.

What's "less" toe-in? 0 or 1 degrees?
Am I correct that in stock form the TB-02 has 0 degrees toe-in in the rear?

b block is .5 degrees and so on. So, if you've got two A blocks in the rear with the old suspension, your total toe will be 2 degrees. Change the rear block to a B block and you will have 2.5 degrees and so on.

hey juan. whats up dude 
I do need to step in and say the stock uprights on both the new and old suspension is 1 deg. The old suspension has a 2 deg hard version, and both a standard and hard plastic 1 deg. The old and new suspension also have a 1 deg alloy availaible, and the additional 0 deg upright for the new lt/wt suspension. You can add or take away by using different susp pin mount blocks. the plastic are "a"'s and then you have the whole range a - e, each higher letter adds .5 deg per side.
