OVERVIEW
Reduce driveline slack and rotational weight by over half with our lightweight Carbon Fiber Driveshaft. The driveshaft is a direct replacement for the OEM 2 piece driveshaft and dramatically reduces weight.
Each unit is frequency balanced and is tested to 5000nm (3600+ft.lbs) of torque.
The tube itself is constructed of multiple layers of carbon fiber, with a strict 76% carbon to 24% epoxy ratio, which leads to a stronger and lighter unit.
The ends are made from 7075-T6 aluminum with high-quality u-joints. Frequency balancing ensures the driveshaft does not vibrate while in use.
*Manual Driveshafts are no longer in production*
