Did the actual shaft break? I had mine break at the front yoke, which was 2 piece pre-installed by DSS (300 torque). DSS was pretty easy to work with on replacing mine under warranty but the new shaft I received has a 1 piece front yoke. Just curios on how yours broke and which front yoke type you have. I mostly AutoX my X but do use LC frequently. I agree, car feels better with CF driveshaft but it's not a mod for everyone.

Yes the actual carbon shaft broke in between the Tcase and the center DS joint.

Z madnedd, we are sorry you did have an issue with your shaft, just so the rest of the forum understands this correctly. The carbon shaft did not fail, we use a 2 piece front yoke that the trans input bolts to a 4 bolt flange, the 4 bolts came loose and broke the bolts. Were not sure how this happened as we have used this for 5 years with out any issue. What was nice is when he sent it back for the FREE Warranty repair we has switched to a single design we had been working on (all are this way now). Again Were sorry you had an issue.

Frank, is the single piece yoke lighter then the 2 piece and if so, by how much?

Good article on how lightweight driveshaft's / flywheels / etc work.

i would guess it to be about the same, if it is its very little

Frank, I hope you didn't take my post wrong. I was very satisfied with your replacement of my shaft (and for FREE, except my cost for shipping the shaft back to you) without major hassles. I am enjoying mine and glad I made the purchase! Of course the breakage wasn't fun but having you guys take care of the fix was great! I was mostly just asking if he had the same issue or actual shaft breakage, and if he had the one piece yoke.

And yes, the CF shaft itself didn't break. I am planning to up the tq. But don't think I will be anywhere near CF breaking type of levels.

Thank you!

Can you elaborate a bit more on a blacke problem? I wish it was that easy for me to send back if it would fail, but few customs and cross pacific flight is not that cheap. Thanks.

We have never has a Carbon Bond failure, this one that he is talking about had bolts come loose then the bolts broke.

Well, blacke states that actual shaft was broken. Its another problem.

Sub'd.

 

[ak47m203]

I still think the oem is better.

 

[ak47m203]

Or improving throttle response?

And since you bring up an aluminum roof what do you think the X has? Lead?

Lol, I think it's made of magnesium and calcium.

It would be nice if someone came out with a 1 pc carbon driveshaft.

I used DriveshaftShop's carbon fiber driveshaft, which felt great but broke at 397whp/500N⋅m.

Wow, I would imagine there was a defect in manufacturing. Clearly it was designed to hold more power. Sorry about your luck, did they send you a new one?
