1 piece carbon fiber driveshaft
Well it's finally here, time for some testing, it weights 18.5 lbs. This is a prototype, we can get it down around 15lbs, with 7075 aluminum ends!

I know an Evo. But what type of setup. 350 hp or 850 hp. If its being tested it should be tested on a car that will put it to work

not sure how a one piece drive shaft on an application like the evo would work.. hopefully the forward roll of the motor wont cause it to break..

anyway.. in for results!
