Coming from T-Works are new steel CV-style driveshaft sets for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th 4WD buggies. The pre-assembled sets are available for the front and the rear of the buggy with a novelty being the left-hand thread sets that offer a single left-hand thread wheel axle that prevents the wheel nut from becoming undone during a run.
