    What recommendations do you have on carbon fiber driveshaft manifactures? Seriously considering change from aluminum for next season -- thanks in advance

    Had good luck with Fast Shafts.Their yokes have more clearance.A carbon will weight within a pound of aluminum.

          Fastshafts and they have a new smaller diameter carbon fiber shaft that will give even better clearances

            QA1: IMO, has the best carbon driveshaft on the market but it likely comes at a higher cost then some others. However, I wouldn't be afraid to use either of the 2 other brands mentioned.

            I may not be 100% correct on all this as I've sleep a time or two since researching this: QA1, has actual destructive testing equipment and theirs tests a fair amount higher then any others that have test date on torque load before breaking. They also have the highest degree of misalignment for the U-joints of any shaft out there. They also use 3M adhesive on the carbon fiber which many do not do to expense. There are several other things that I just can't remember right now but you get the idea and shouldn't take my word and do your own research before making a decision.

            Again just my opinion after doing research, so if money is no object the QA1 is the one you want but others will likely do the job as a possible lower cost.
