Why not to use a "carbon fiber driveshaft"
|
Actually when a carbon fiber driveshaft breaks, there is no drama. It pretty much turns to dust. It is much safer than a metal driveshaft.

yes it did turn into dust. Mostly...

ohh shit!! Roy finally made it to the track after many years of building & testing...that PP sounds awsome Enzo and with the power u guys are making i dont see a 7.50 being a problem once the car is fully sorted out....actually the only problem i see might be the driver ;-D (sorry roy)..
good luck with the car, its long over due.... that fat guy in black looks like Ralfe, lol... |
I have one and like it alot. It absorbs more shock than alluminum or steel and has more flex too. It will shatter if you twist it too much, but this is much safer than throwing your car airborne.

A broken driveshaft no matter if it's carbon or not is a dangerous thing.
I believe abel broke some ribs when his carbon driveshaft broke.. This is why you should use one that won't break. Such as a mark williams billet yoke/steel shaft that we will now use. |
video clip of Abels crash....this was a very hard hit and i think they said it knocked him out

Any car with huge tires and setup for serious dragracing should never use a carbon drive shaft.
I know two people that nearly got kill because they broke on launch. One of them took a hit in the ribs from it too. A carbon shaft is better suited for street, road race and very light street/drag use if you're brave. One of the good fetaures or a carbon drive shaft is that it absorbs a lot of the shock on launch and shifting. |
