French company MiBorg presents its innovative RCV driveshaft developed for the now vintage touring car, the Awesomatix A700. A steel-to-steel interface between wheel axle and bearing is provided for less play and less bearing wear compared to the original assembly. It’s associated with the MiBorg original pin less wheel axle adapters for a better wheel concentricity. The driveshaft centre of rotation is aligned with the steering axis to ensure an easy handling of the car. RCV concept is still utilising the design of full-scale cars, It’s an advantageous alternative to “double joint”. The very high level of accuracy and durability offers no play and no wear run after run. The driveshaft use balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even with high steering angles. It is not compatible with IFJ or IRJ outdrive interface, but only with ST10 or ST10-1.5 interface.
