YZ-4 Front Double Joint Universal Shaft (with Bearing)
#Z4-010FW, 64,20 € ($68 USD)

Yokomo has introduced a pair of double-joint front driveshafts for the YZ-4 buggy, which come with special bearings that take the place of the stock inner bearing that presses into the steering block. The additional driveshaft joint reduces friction loss during hard cornering, particularly under hard acceleration or braking, making these optional pieces a helpful choice on high-grip tracks.
