MIP TLR 22 3.0 Pucks 17.5 drive system

MIP have introduced the Pucks 17.5 drive system for the TLR 22 3.0 buggy. Designed with stock racing in mind, MIP’s popular Pucks drive system is now also available for TLR’s latest 2WD competition buggy. The multi-piece construction is making it possible to keep the original axles as well as seeing superior wear that comes from a steel yoke. With that change MIP also have upgraded the diff balls to tungsten carbide balls for the ultimate in wear and efficiency. Overall, the race-proven design lightens up the drivetrain’s rotating mass by as much as 50 percent; which means quicker acceleration, less motor fade, and it allows to keep the car’s drivetrain fresh with replaceable Pucks.
