@harmonyards posted:...these are straight from China, so I was a little skeptical on the quality, and the fit, but the price point made it easy to order a few for application testing,.....I was impressed when I opened the box....these are turned solid steel shafts. Very well made, u joints are solid, snug, but articulate very smoothly. The telescoping section is very smooth, with a good snug slip fit.
No surprise really. The RC hobby is much more popular than ours, and RC vehicles are designed with abuse in mind.
If only O scale manufacturers could contract with the RC factories. Of course its a bit of an apples an oranges thing.
Having said that, I'll bet theres rarely a time when and RC car comes out of the box with parts falling off.
Another interesting thread Pat. Something else thats wayyy above my skill level, but at least I have the peace of mind knowing where I could have it done should the need arise
