I dont know if this is on here but i doubt my version is.

Dificulty: 4/10

Remember this tut will only work on RWD cars because your new driveshaft will not spin. For AWD car i cannot stress the CF driveshaft from XI. But for RWD I recomend this mod and that you spend money elsewhere on XI.

This tut will show you how to turn a power hungry underperforming:



Into a performance racer that over performs!!!

All you need is:

-chassis
-whichever driveshaft your using
-a pen

Start by taking your pen and attempting to drain all the ink, dont worry about all of it just get a lot of it out. or i just use an old pen from my moms office...LOL

Then take out the ink holding thing, and cut it down to a little smaller then your driveshaft:



Cut it down about this much smaller:



Now take a paperclip and feed it through and just keep cleaning your new driveshaft, then when your think the inside is really clean, take it to the sink and just clean it off with towel and water.

Now just install it and go race.

How does this help your performance?

On long size driveshaft this can reduce the weight of the shaft by 16 grams. and thats that much less weight your motor has to spin. this in turn helps torque and vastly boost aceeleration, and maybe an insignifgant bit in overalll top speed because of the weight difference.

Tie this mod in with a blue stage 2 with neodyme mags, a 6 cell, and stacked fets and your ready for the track anyday!!!

For people that really want to try this with AWD, there is one way to keep the shaft strong while keeping the weight as low as possible, stick a paper clip into the center of the shaft and then just trim it to the same length as your shaft. Then it will be strong and wont bend when it has to hold up againt lots of torque. Also for AWD make sure to cut out the divets you see on the original drive shaft...
