The OD. Of the CF shaft is 1mm smaller and hardly any flex compared to the solid aluminum.how do you keep it straight so it doesn't rub on the chassis braces?
Yes if they work well in testing I will make 20 moreInteresting...where are these coming from, are you making them?
4 grams lighter than aluminum shaftCool, what's the weight?
Looks good, are you able to make the front kickup in the chassis? What about the battery tray area?
I can make the small wedge spacer to provide the correct angle like the factory chassis. But I run mine flat with another rear diff case in the front. I'm running this as a dirt modified on a clay oval. Ran flat front last season and luv the way it negotiates the corner entry. And as for the battery tray this is a mirror copy out of carbon fiber, so both battery tray and electronics tray still go on. Sorry not fully assembled in the pic.Looks good, are you able to make the front kickup in the chassis? What about the battery tray area?
If you watch how carbon fiber driveshaft for cars are built it's not about the amount of epoxy you can get in there, it's about the amount of press you can get on the piece that you are pushing into the carbon fiber tube. I was able to achieve a half a thousandth press.Huh. I was toying with something similar in concept for a build I'm working on where I haven't found a 8mm x 162mm dogbone I need. Bought some 6mm OD x 4mm ID carbon fiber tubing, 3M DP420 epoxy adhesive and cut the ends off an HPI dog bone. There's some space (about a half millimeter) between the OD of the dog bone shaft and ID of the tube, so I should be able to get plenty of glue in the gap.

I'm still trying to figure out how to center the dog bone ends in the tube while the glue is drying. I've thought about wrapping a single strand of wire around the dog bone. I'll think of something. Will get around to finishing it in the not too distant future.
