KM H-K1 Evo3 steel & aluminium rear driveshafts

KM have a new option part for the H-K1 200mm nitro on-road car available in the form of red steel and aluminium driveshafts. The parts improve the drivetrain efficiency due to a low weight while the red steel wheel axles maximise durability. Using the universal shafts improves rear stability and also does away with the need to use O-rings in the differential outdrives. For maintenance reasons the aluminium dogbones are also available separately.
