Schumacher CAT PB Front Bearing Driveshaft Conversion

Schumacher has introduced this new Front Bearing Driveshaft Conversion for its CAT PB 1:10 4WD Buggy.  The conversion allows the car to roll more when the transmission is loaded.  Normally a pinned dog bone on a normal output will have more support/bind which keeps the chassis flatter in the corner in turn giving the car more forward drive.  With the ball bearing system you should gain more front end movement from the suspension, allowing the steering and suspension to be less affected by throttle input.  The team have found these give more steering and the front/nose tucks into the corner more resulting in faster pivoting in the corners.  They found the best effects on medium and high grip surfaces.
