eventhough your car will accelerate faster, its not worth it. Don't mean to knock your hustle but the plastic driveshaft cant take the torque very well. It twists and I have a hunch that it flexes inside the chamber too. and it increases that annoying chatter that the xmod makes. I had to switch out to the metal one again.

I havent tried the CF ones yet but I feel those will bw the better bet in terms of rigidity.

xmodsman, I am interested. Is your school off this week, because maybe then I could run by your house or something.

i dont know how plastic driveshafts would affect awd, but it lightens up rwd with no worries of it tweaking. where did you find that? IS IT a straw lol? i used a penshaft.
