I agree with this. If you compress the front suspension the 46 shaft will bind in the cup. But the 44 notches the outdrive quickly. Let's face it, the original cups are awful.
I tried the Tune up and Roche cups they are a vast improvement over the original. Roche cups are quite short and fit the 46 only but clear perfectly with suspension movement. Tune up cups are long like the originals and fit the 44. Naturally they bind with the 46 under compression.
I think the 44 definitely drives nicer than the 46, and the Tune up cups are made from very long lasting material. I bent the mounting pins slightly to remove the slack. 3 months in, racing 2 or 3 times per week there is minimal slack, my car drives super consistent, and no retirements due to failure. I'm extremely pleased with this product and would regard it as an essential upgrade. One less thing to worry about.
Got mine here. Use Tamiya AW grease.

Ok thanks.
Have you got a reference for the 46 mm ? I only saw a ta05 kit with aw grease etc...
Can i still use the 46 with the stock delrin spool exit ?
