Yes, which is why it's so damn important to take care of this!
How about a cover? Like those old school rubber covers on the Tamiya Frog etc? Worked well back in the 80s!
Anyone tried? Different materials? Neoprene? Rubber stays well in place which is good.
I see the Aero has plastic on the pins for the center shaft. Didn't TC have that before on the driveshafts as well?
