I was just playing around guys... I didn't take anything as an insult. It cracks me up when people lowball the **** out of an item in the hopes that someone will bite on the offer. I've been guilty of the very same thing.

Seriously though, I'm looking to get $325 for it. If it doesn't sell no big deal to me, I just can't see taking a loss like that. People are free to go and spend $800+ for a new one or buy mine for almost $500 off retail, it's a driveshaft not a wear item like tires... well not really, but you get the idea.

Again guy's, I was just bustin *****... no harm meant!

How much of a beating can these C/F shafts take? I have visions of them snapping into a splintered mess. How thick are the tube walls?

They can handle plenty of power, I've seen it stated at 1,000. Carbon fiber driveshafts are not meant to be beat on with hammers, once they are chipped the whole thing will broom on you.

Plenty of +'s for running a carbon fiber shaft.

Only negatives are...
Hard impacts will cause failure
The price (like getting punched in the ***)
Length cannot be altered once in finished form
People think you're a ricer

Follow the link and read up. They say it much better than I ever could.
