3Racing blades do not need no modification, can be fitted perfectly on the original drive shafts TCX.

I guess I find it kind of funny that when I started RC, gear diffs were the norm, then ball diffs started emerging and were an "upgrade". Now it's in reverse .

i agree, but its more like borrowing something successful from the nitro TC/offroad genre

these gear diffs are nothing like that ones that most of us started with I remember building my tamiya off-roaders and their gear diffs - at least these new ones are tune-able

Hi,

Just a FYI . I attempted to fit it, and worked out ok, but you need to cut down the post that it pivots on, as its slightly too tall. You have to be careful and almost get a machine cut end to it, otherwise it will tweak the top deck unless there is a post i don't know about that is specifically made for the TCX to mount it.

From ETS, the final version of the new spindles steering, on the Moore car, there is also a strange shock tower.
We hope to be available soon!
