MIP have introduced the 17.5 Race top shaft for the TLR 22 line of vehicles.

The 1-piece design furthermore improves durability with the included 4mm nut topping off the design while also doing away with the original top shaft spacer. The shaft is usage for all 22-series vehicles including the buggy, truck and SCT.
