Roche Rapide F1 CF rear axle & Ti-coated shock shaft

Coming from Roche and made for the Rapide F1 1/10th scale formula car are a carbon fibre rear axle and a titanium-coated shock shaft. Starting with the rear axle, the assembly uses a carbon fibre shaft with a lightweight yet durable aluminium differential plate and a threaded aluminium insert for the adjustment nut. Using the part will improve acceleration and top speed while also giving more on-power steering due to a different weight distribution.
