Yeah Racing TT-02 aluminium drivetrain options

Yeah Racing introduce two new option parts for Tamiya’s TT-02 entry-level 4WD touring car in the form of a main drive shaft and drive shaft joints.

Also new are suitable aluminium main drive shaft joints. They replace the kit parts with a much stronger solution for improved efficiency and added rigidity plus they come with an optional O-ring that is meant to provide a more aggressive steering feeling. Both the drive shaft and the joints come in blue colour.
