Litemodz Constant Velocity Driveshaft
Litemodz were in touch to tell us that testing has begun on their latest ‘revolutionary product’, the all new constant velocity driveshaft. The benefits of this system is that it eliminates torque and speed fluctuations of the joint which currently manifests itself in wheel chatter. Theoretically by maintaining shaft speed at any given articulated angle this should potentially result in improved steering and wheel response. This CVD may be fitted to all existing model cars without modification. A release date has not been given but it is hoped to be soon.

I wonder if this a 6 ball cvd, like they use in the Humvee? And similar to the 3 ball version that FG has for their 1/5 cars?

Didn’t Kyosho already do this on the TF6?

It is a Rzeppa Joint.
Used on every “modern” (patent in 1927) car in the world

I forgot to say :
It’s usefull only for the front drive shaft, the rear doesn’t need it if the bone (differential side) and the CVD (wheel side) are correcly aligned

This is by far the most efficient way.
