I originally had one of the first generation Climax and became aware of the replacement rear driveshaft with the slip function, which I did. I recently bought one of the newer generation and when working on it today, noticed that the driveshaft was solid, not the slipping style. Does it need that? Did they solve the binding issue that caused the need for the replacement shaft?
The drive shaft is powered by the rear truck. While it physically connects to the front truck itself, there is no mechanical connection between the shaft and the wheels of the front truck.

So that is on the new or old or both. I'm confused a bit. They made a change?
That's on the new one. The whole drive was re-engineered.

Ok. No makes sense. Thanks.
