Yeah but these are made here, they are lighter and stronger, will cost substantially less, and the money will be going back into the US economy which we all desperately need. And I guarantee those "lightened CV's" will not handle 1750 ftlbs. torque.

Yeah, but I'm not from the US and if I'm not mistaken this is an international forum

If you look at the link, they claim that the failure load is in excess of 3000 Nm which is 2212.7 ftlbs........

Chris, where is the failure point? If they are referring to the tube, our tube was designed to 3550 ftlbs. Sorry, I didn't see you're from the UK.

No need to apologise Pat. I have no idea where the failure point is/was, I am not connected with the company in any way. I just posted the link for information.

I'm very interested in your product as the Torqline shaft is quite expensive at approx

The gains vs the $ are not really worth it. This isn't like putting a light weight flywheel on

Well we'll have empirical data in the next 5-6 weeks regarding gains at the rear wheels since drivetrain power loss will be less, shaft balance will improve, lower moment of inertia on acceleration, shaft will not "phase out" after time (like most metal ones do), because of wind angles and layup schedule the shaft will twist to a predetermined number of rads reducing maximum momentary shock loading to differential, they're stronger and they'll be aggressively priced. So their may be some advantage Vs. cost. Plus we'll have a red logo sticker on it.

If you need to test your products at high altitude, let me know.
