Surfed in to check things out and saw this great looking buggy in the build of the month section. I love how low slung it is and those wheels!

Just when i thought i had actually finished a build, another cool piece pops up! Somebody posted this shortened Hotshot prop shaft with a one-way roller on a different post of mine (am building an FTD Racing Products Hotshot), and then very kindly gifted it to me for my build. I have never seen this before... i know of the Phoenix version but has anybody else seen this type previously? I would love to know who made it. It appears to be very well made. I will fit it to the Supercharge and try it out.

Nice piece ! I have heard of but never seen one , was thinking of making one myself .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Thanks to a good friend doing a little digging I think I have narrowed this down to being a TeeJay offering which was advertised in May/June '86 Radio Race Car mag. The standard upgrade they mention states they use a stainless steel tube and the one-way advert states that same standard shaft can be utilised.
