Bearingless Graphite Driveshaft
 

Do you have a carbon Fiber Drive Shaft?
I am introducing the Bearingless Graphite Drive Shaft.

This mod is serious!
Check it out.
Look Here for the "XMOD LABZ" Homepage
There are some videos

I was amazed how much these things actually help the car. I replaced my carbon fiber one with it, and it went even faster.
These things dont even require bearings, or bushings, and they are lighter and stronger than carbon fiber.

WOW, seriously.

Thanks for looking.

have you tried to use the bearings with it? does it just get clamped btw the 2 holders?

Yes, I have tried it with bearings, it works both ways. The bearingless feature just reduces friction, like if you have either crappy bearings, or just bushings, and it also reduces wieght. Did you watch the videos? Number 4 Is pretty cool. PS: sorry about the crappy bandwidth on that site.
Thanks

yeah ahh i think u would want bearings casue they reduce alot of friction and will the hold the drive shaft up so the gears all touch well with no bearings it will sag which i would think make it drive like crap. dats jsut what i think it might woork diff but doesnt seem like it would work good

Did you look at the diagram that I made?
It shows that the shaft rests in between the two gears, or if there is not AWD it does not even touch the front bearing, b/c it is a tight fir in the rear bevel gear. It does not sag, trust me, i made it, and it works amazingly well, seriously, I discovered it on accident actually, lol.
Thanks

Watch the videos, and see for yourself, they really dont do it justice though, but it was worth a try. The civic in the videos has a stage two white motor, but it is twice as fast as normal, cause of the shaft. I am not a liar at all, in fact I'm an Eagle scout, look at my good eBay feedback if you still dont believe me.

These shafts are really, really sweet. Trust me. Watch the vids.
Thanks

Well, I'm not sure if it really works, as my Civic is all packed up to be shipped out, but any idea that strives to reduce the drivetrain losses in these things is a step in the right direction.

neuro, I'm sorry, I did not understand what you said:

What do you mean by loses.
Thanks

OK... due to popular disbelief, on other forums too, I have changed them to where they do need bearings, I swear that they dont, but I have stopped advertising them that way.

THanks

look no offence, but i am not sure i trust someone who thiks being an eagle scout somehow makes him honest. and i won't believe it simply based on a video of what you claim is a stock xmod. perhaps someone would like to buy one and try it, but i am a skeptic.

LOL, sorry that was really funny, i dont know why. Some people respect Eagle Scouts for their trustworthyness, and reliability, and hard work, other people dont care, like you, which is fine. I never said that it was a stock xmod, I have no idea where you got that from, on the video site I listed all the after-market upgrades that it had. BTW: due to popular disbelief, i changed them all to normal drive shafts, to make everyone happy, they now do require bearings.

BTW 2: I would not lie for selling stuff on eBya, cause I dont want to get bad feedback. Lying would definitely get it for me.

Thanks

no

very very professional. lol heat sync, A-W-D. what suspension and steering upgrades? obvously RS'but what springs/dampers, what tie rod, whose rechargeable batts, what rechargable batts? and you cant get a real test out of a driveshaft until you have tested it with A/4WD. otherwise you have only tested it with 1/2 of the people that own a Civic, Skyline, Supra. and this will fit extended chassis? wouldnt you need a longer shaft for that? the sentence should say "Keep in mind, these drive shafts are only for a Civc, Skyline or Supra, or other chassis that use the same wheel base setting.

and you never answered my question. before you required the bearings did the shaft spin loosely? or was it sandwitched between the front and rear plastic holders?


i really am sorry if i sound angry. being in the same mini van for 10 hours with my father is no walk in the park. then getting home to tell him that his charger doesnt work and having him yell in you face for an hour about how stupid you are isnt really all that fun either. (with the way things are going now im seriously considering a way to end this. who wants my XMODS? and i do know i need help)

Ill take your xmods! I have broke 4 xmods because of shorts. I only have 1 xmod that works now. :mad:

Ok, to try to answer your question.

First it was a mistake on my part to call it bearingless, They definitely need bearings, because they flop around too much, so i changed the name. They work fine normally.

THEY DO work with a-w-d, I was just saying the things that were on that civic xmod that I used to test it on. My friend has A-W-D, and we used his and it works fine, they are the same langth as the metal one, and they are identical on both sides. I just did not make vids of the other car with all wheel drive.

Thanks for your concern. Did you look at my feedback? on eBay, half of them had a-w-d, and they are all happy with it. I'll have your xmods too if you were not joking

Later, I have an 8-10 page english report due tomorrow.

If your going to sell somthing over the internet, your going to want to be Professional about it. That being said, you should make sure that all your information about your product is correct and can be backed by evidence, which would be pics. The videos show nothing at all and the way you presented your product in the videos where kinda lame, which leads many to believe otherwise. And please don't add-in any ranks in society that you have, for one no one can believe you we dont know you, and second it really doesnt matter to a lot of people who you are, just as long as you sell what you say and represent. Being an Eagle Scout myself I congragulate you if thats what you are looking for. Just take into consideration what people have to say and fix somethings and you'll find better success in your sales.

Thank you for that advice. I did not really think about the fact that people would not even believe, which apparently they dont, when I posted this item. Also, I only mentioned the fact that I am an eagle scout as a way for the people who decided to hate me to lighten up some, and maybe listen to me. I now realize that this was very pointless, as I am learning new ways to sell my stuff. I was not seeking attention, just sales. Thank you for what you said, I will take it into consideration and redo my whole marketing shceme. I will have to figure out how to prove that my product works as good as it does, and do it in a simple fashion. If you have any ideas of what you would like to see, please let me know. Thanks

I am sorry if you thought we were trying to say you were not being honest, that isn't it, I was just being skeptical. I don't buy something unless I hear it from someone other than the person that obviously has a stake in it. not that I don't trust you, just that I have seen many "supertyuber mega-speed upgade of opponent smokeing" that turned out to be BS.

its easier to type AWD than A-W-D.

oh and yes i was joking about giving them away. i talked to some friends and im better now.

Maybe if you want, you could give a few away as a Trial or Test. I would be happy to take one and test it out and give a full feedback, and if you want I can return it to you after I am done.

i got that from your site. graphite bends. i have played with golf clubs and it bends. i don't think its stronger then CF but it might be lighter but not much. about that wwhole inertia thing you got it wrong. it takes the motor more force to move heavier objects instead of lighter ones. inertia is the thing that makes things fly off your hood when you do a sharp turn.
