¶ Rear Axle Options
There are 3 different rear driveshaft options for the Mayako.
They affect the handling of the car mainly on power while cornering, so specially getting on power mid corner and accelerating out of it, or driving through a bumpy sweeper on power.
The most relevant difference is the location of the joint.
The further in the joint is, the more initial grip, the further out the joint is, the more overall grip there is.
The Mayako MX8 comes with a 91mm rear universal as standard. This is a good setting or most tracks and provides the most support on the rear.
¶ Overview
- The most initial grip
- The most aggressive setting
- The most on power support (stiff feeling rear end)
- More rotation off power, but can also lose rear end mid corner when you don't want to
- Squares up quickly on power
- Worse in bumps
- Fast setting
¶ MYB0052-01 - 94mm Universal
The 94mm universal moves the joint away from the car centreline, reducing mechanical bind. This reducing support on the rear of the car giving s a softer feel to the rear end and allowing for more roll.
This is an option that many have liked, including David Ronnefalk.
¶ Overview
- Middle setting, compromise between 91 and CVD.
- More overall grip, while still offering more support than the CVD.
- More overall grip, leading to better rear grip through a corner.
- Better in bumps.
- Easy setting
¶ Build
Remove the inner bearing insert in the rear hub (MYB0048-2) to insert the 13x19x4mm bearing.
You will also need to use 2x crush washers to get the correct spacing with the 94mm driveshaft.
The rear CVD option provides the softest rear end support and most roll.
¶ Overview
- The most overall grip.
- Least rear support.
- More "bound up" or "drag brake" feel compared to the 94mm Universal.
- More consistent grip in corners, but can lack support or initial grip on power out of corners.
- Easy setting
¶ Build
The complete rear CVD (MYB0058) comprises of 2 parts:
- MYB0053 - 100mm CVD dogbone (same front and rear)
- MYB0055 - Rear CVD axle (unique front and rear)
To build the Rear CVD into a standard rear hub (MYB0050), you will need:
- MYB0058 - Complete Rear CVD Set Pair
- MYB0168 - 13x19x4mm ball bearing
- MYB0045-01 - Rear CVD Bearing Crush Washer
Remove the inner bearing insert in the rear hub (MYB0048-2) to insert the 13x19x4mm bearing. You will also need to use MYB0045-01 to get the correct spacing with the rear CVD.
