Question regarding the HRC hubs: are the team drivers using them in conjunction with rear diff housing riser, or without the riser? Thanks.

AFAIK, no team drivers are running the riser plate anymore.

Are the universals any stronger than the stock driveshafts? My stock ones bend very often...

How are you bending driveshafts? That baffles me.

Are you running front and mid braces on EB? And all 3 on NB?

I've never broken a shaft, but they do bend easy... the front ones at least

My front driveshafts bent within 2 weeks of having my eb, and my nb bent one the first time out... I don't recall any crashes that would of caused it either. my sct however hasn't bent one yet, and that thing has had some nasty tumbles.. haha

so you guys run front brace only, and universals and dont have any issues with bending?

I've been running a Tekno EB48 since the very first version was released. Always with the front brace only. I have never bent a drive shaft. CVD or Universal.

the drive shaft is bent, but still works fine.... it doesn't make the car wobble or anything, but when you roll it you can see the shaft is bent... im not talking bent so much that it doesn't work, but it is bent. I want to try the universals, but i wanted to see if they were a little stronger first since they are kinda pricey

I wanted to know if they give any race advantages. So far I have learned "Made the car better through the bumps." You related they are pricy. I think i saw $50 a pair. I may try them as i run on a bumpy track. Im hoping for more feedback on them.

Jmcelroy42, easiest way to make camber is to cut the camber rods shorter. We typically remove 3-4 mm per side. Otherwise you can use our TKR5550 SCT camber rods which are shorter.

Matt, does the 1.8 vs 1.9 make that big of a difference?
