help

i was wondering if theres a difference in power between the aluminum and steel drive shaft? is it a good idea to spend a little more for the aluminum? Will there be any difference?

^^^correct. i got the steel one and only because my aluminum was bent. my next one will be a carbon fiber or something lighter, but just as strong as the steel one.
