Expanding its range of RCV driveshaft options, Miborg has released a version intended for the Awesomatix A800 Electric Touring Car.  This new release is a complete solution proposed from wheel to cup combining innovative RCV wheel joint and the new unique RJS inner joint.  First released in November of last year, the RCV is a unique constant velocity driveshaft, more compact and efficient than a double joint.  The driveshaft kit integrates a specific axle wheel assembly with robust 5x10x3 bearings and calibrated spacer to distribute the wheel axial load on both bearings.  The RJS is a unique system reducing the friction effect generated by the driveshaft in roll movement of the car.  It is a more robust and simple solution compare with bearing competitive solutions.  The inner idler rotates freely in the drive shaft head and is lubricated for life with specific lub.  It is compatible with Awesomatix “IFJ & IRJ” spool or differential output.
