I still have my ali driveshafts in a bag with the axles from when I first built the kit, as I used the 46mm steel shafts joined to the Spec R axles, reason being, is the hole for the pin is smaller in the Spec R axle, so NO slop at all, and have had this set up in my car from new, and only now do I have a tad amount of wear, but that is tge pin in the steel driveshaft wearing a slight groove in the outdrives, this is how I will build my TCXX when it arrives :-)
