52mm ECS drive shaft with new thicker and more reliable 2mm pins. The ECS drive shaft equalizes the speed between the drive shaft and the wheel. With a unique 2-piece joint between the axle and the wheel, the same extreme wheel turning angle is divided into two shallower angles without joint binding. This means that at the same cornering speed, the inner wheel will not bind or vibrate. Drive through the corner is more stable, more precise and easier to drive.

With the ECS drive shafts, wheel vibrations and noise are decreased to minimum, steering is increased and cornering speed and smoothness increases noticeable.

NOTE: To use the ECS drive shafts you need to use the front C-hubs V2 with the larger opening. The C-hubs V2 were included in all T2'008/T3/T4 kits, so owners of the T2, T2'007 and T2R must purchase the C-hubs V2 separately.

It is very important to regularly service the shafts in order to increase the lifespan and maintain performance.

Before use, these steps MUST be followed:

1. Assemble the ECS drive shaft.
2. Use #106210 HUDY Graphite Grease to lubricate both drive shaft couplings.
3. Use medium-grade thread lock (e.g., Loctite™ 242) on both setscrews. Do not use too much threadlock as
it may block the drive shaft.
4. Ensure that the ECS drive shaft moves freely.
