TLR 22-4 CVA driveshaft sets

TLR 22-4 CVA driveshaft sets

Available now from Team Losi Racing are front and rear CVA driveshafts for the 22-4 4WD buggy. Successfully used by the likes of Ryan Maifield, Dustin Evans, and Dakotah Phend a CVA joint will create more natural lock up or bind than a universal joint. This helps to stiffen the suspension when under acceleration, which makes the car flatter and drive off harder. It also helps jump landings, when applying some throttle, especially when casing/flat landing. Available as separate front and rear sets the CVA’s are a direct replacement for the standard universal driveshafts.
