I'm happy with the carbon shaft will be getting one for my newly acquired black edition evo 6 as well!

I'd like to try the Exotek lightened outdrives, does anyone run them? I center-drilled out a set of outdrives on my VBC and shattered one on my first run. I'm sure Exotek has a better method than I used.

I also drill 5 small holes in the aluminum wheel hex's for weight savings. Again, I know it seems silly, but everything I can do to lighten rotating mass is a win in my book.
