Default Pfadt driveshaft users?

How many have converted to Pfadt Carbon Driveshaft?

What's your experience?

I have searched, but I haven't come across anyone who has one.

In qualifying for the last race at Phoenix, the guibo let go, the bolts sheared and ruined the shaft and the tube(maybe the input shaft, too).

I have to replace everything anyway, and I'm seriously considering going with the Pfadt unit so I don't have to deal with the issue as often.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. You're right, it is a beautiful piece. It seems that not that many have tried it yet.

I'm surprised.

If it works well, it appears that racers should be all over it.
It may be cheaper in the long run because you don't have to tear down as often or miss a race like I did.

I just wonder if it would create reliability problems with the other drive train components because there is no "give".

I emailed Pfadt a few days ago, but have not heard from them. I will try to call on Monday.

Anybody else have any experience?

Cheers,

Jim Hall of Halltech fame has one installed in his car. Give Halltech a call and see what he has to say.
