FastRace 1/8th off-road V2 centre drive joint

Coming from FastRace are new lightweight V2 centre drive joints for Team Associated, Mugen and SWorkz 1/8th off-road kits. Machined from high-quality Ergal material and featuring a lightweight design, the coupler offers exceptional durability due to four steel pins that prevent the driveshaft’s drive pins from grubbing into the coupler’s aluminium surface over time. An additional surface coating ensures further improved wear characteristics.
