Redcat Gen8 Heavy Duty Steel Splined Center CV Drive Shaft
The build quality is really nice, they use a set screw to hold the pin in place which is good, they are on the heavy side at 4.2 oz compared to 2.2 of the stockers. One major thing that they unfortunately missed just like the stock shafts was to design them so they can be put in "phase", though they are not off as far as stock. Phasing is basically being able to align both ends of the shaft. Not being able to achieve this has the effect of introducing extra vibrations into the drive train which in RC isn't as detrimental as with 1:1's but it definitely not ideal.
The phasing or alignment is only off by a few degrees (3-6) unlike the stock shafts which are off by roughly 23 degrees
