MIP have introduced their new Race Duty drive kit for the Arrma Kraton and Outcast trucks. Made from the highest quality hardened alloy steel, the kit can easily upgrade the car’s front or rear drive. It offers increased overall strength due to large 6mm tapered bone compared to 5mm of OEM and the tolerances are all improved from the coupler hole, to the entire assembly. In addition rotation of the cup of the axle to the bone is much smoother and not notchy like the OEM fitment for an overall smoother driveline action.
