Default Ask the 1/4 pro about these shafts
bandito While carbon fiber is very strong it is BONDED to the ends. The e-town guys have tryed these and lost cars from the ends twisting apart. Kid behind my house has and 02 firebird for racing and got an carbon fiber for like $600.00 and the end twisted where its bonded after 30 runs. This is a 10.9 car. Again for a street car with 400hp or less no problems I have heard of. Serious racers are all running steel or aluminum. Rick L.
