MIP B5/T5 Eco All-in-1 topshaft

New from MIP and made for the Team Associated B5 and T5 series of vehicles is the Eco All-in-1 topshaft. The shaft is designed to work with the original 3-gear rear motor, 4-gear mid motor, 4-gear V2 mid motor, 3 gear mid motor, and the MIP Box gearbox which was made possible by some clever engineering that allows to run all necessary bearing sizes on one top shaft. Along with the 5-in-1 capability the contact surface is 30 percent narrower than normal, equating to less overall contact patch and drag on the idler gear. The shaft also weighs in at a feather light 3.8 grams, making it ideal especially for 17.5 stock class needs.
