Spec-R Tamiya TRF418/419 P8 version double joint driveshaft

Erm...what was the difference??

 

dog bones can only let the wheels turn so far until they reach their limit of usfull articulation, at which point the tendency is for the wheels to vibrate, usually up and down via the suspension as well as the steering axis, result being that on a race track you tend to understeer as the front looses its grip. with drifting i stops you putting on loads of lock as eventually (with a strong enough servo) the joint will just lock up

 

 

 

 

these drive shafts have a much larger articulation range  which lets the wheel turn further, thus stopping the unwanted movement. its done by using 2 joints instead of the one, while the over all turn is the same, each joint only does half of the turn each.
