Longer driveshafts 59mm Front make the car easier to drive by creating more traction and better stability, felt mostly in chicanes. However,
the car will also understeer more than when using the shorter 58mm Front driveshafts that create more steering and make the car more
aggressive. Both left and right should ALWAYS be the same length at each end of the car (FL = FR).
59mm Front shafts are recommended for carpet tracks and large asphalt tracks.
58mm Front shafts are recommended for low-traction or tight asphalt tracks.

The optional ECS ball-bearing driveshafts feature a new ball-bearing assembly
at the inner end of the driveshaft where it inserts into the outdrive. The friction
between the driveshaft and the outdrive is greatly reduced, which gives smoother
handling especially on fast direction changes such as chicanes. The reduced friction
also helps to increase cornering speeds.
The new ball-bearing driveshafts must be used with optional:
