The Avid topshaft has a smaller and shorter threaded part where the Triad spring, shim and nut goes on.
The Yokomo topshaft has a too large of a diameter to use the parts included with the Triad slipper so you would have to source a different spring, shim and nut for it to work.
By looking at it the rest might work out.
But the whole point of the triad is more slipper area and a smaller softer spring.
Not sure how easy it would be to find a spring that fits the original topshaft and still being soft enough
Seeing the machined aluminum Avid topshaft only costs $20 I think it's worth it to get the slipper working as intended.......and it works brilliantly
They have also released red slipper pads to tune the slipper even more (intended for high grip astro, mod motors and trucks/SC).
