anybody running carbon fiber shafts?? seems like a pretty good idea and they're not terribly expensive.

thoughts??

 

After reading that, I really don't see where there would be any disadvantages to running it.

 

Well Mike with all that Hp/Tq you have listed in your sig you better get one.

Damn, I forgot that was there.

 

Let me guess...ol uncle whit put that there?

 

Naw, it wasn't him, he has even less. Check out his sig.

 

I think his is decimal. I noticed that starting a while back

 

How often do people break driveshafts?

Even when sledpullers break and start whipping against their driveshaft loops, aren't the U-joints typically to blame?

I know that if I had a choice, I would rather break a driveshaft than an input shaft, output shaft, axle or differential. Driveshafts are the eaisiest and cheapest to replace out of all the above, but they're the least common breakage... I'd personally have a driveshaft that's good for exactly 1 foot pound of torque less than what my spiders are good for.

Altough, if a carbon fiber shaft lets me loose the carrier bearing, I might consider it...
