RC Maker Optional LF-LW Driveshaft Upgrades

RC Maker has introduced an upgraded Low Friction Light Weight Driveshaft System for their SP1 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Designed to improve drivetrain efficiency, the new LF/LW system features oversized ball bearings in the differential cups, increasing the bearing surface area while reducing movement and friction throughout the assembly.  At the same time, the complete assembly is lighter than the original SP1 components, reducing rotating mass and allows the driveshafts to move with less bind in the cup. This results in less rotating mass, reduced bind, improved efficiency, and increased durability.
