The driveshaft shop driveshaft
 
So this driveshaft, anyone have it? Seen any noticeable differences in throttle response or better acceleration? Let me know! My next upgrade will most likely be this if it's worth the money! It's between the driveshaft, kart boy short shifter or idler pulley set.

why? 02-11-2017 06:53 PM

have the carbon one it is awesome. Know a bunch of people with aluminum and love it too.

I will be getting the aluminum one. Don't see the point in spending hundreds more on just a couple pounds. So the aluminum shaft at 400 bucks is worth it? Do you notice better acceleration?

didnt notice any night and day difference. the dss doesnt like hauling heavy stuff, otherwise it will be prone to a diff leak. im using kaaz 1.5 way as well by the way.

1/ Yes! I have the carbon fibre unit.
2/ No, but it removed how ever many kilos from the mass of the car. Win!
3/ You're asking for a value judgement. I thought it was worth it but then again I spent something like AUD$1200 for my battery.
4/ I am suggesting the the KB short shifter would gain the biggest "feel" difference of the three items mentioned.

You gave me exactly the answers I was looking for thanks my man! I will probably save the extra 200 for now and go for the KB ☺

I started out with the aluminum version and it vibrated so bad I sent it back and got the carbon fiber version.
