cool...lightweight shaft...are ye using it already D? Is it in stock in semenanjung already?

I have the shaft. Its not a bad little bit of kit. From memory it is a 10gm weight saving over stock.

what sort of a performance increase does that give you on acceleration?

Nice work, Jabroni !
 

Jabroni, that is sure some nice work!

Wish mine looked as clean... I have wires bundled atop the steering servo, not hidden. :(

Curious about one thing... with the expenditure on alloy parts and SSG, why did you keep the stock plastic radiotray support?
I would think that would be the FIRST thing you would replace with an alloy part to increase torsional stiffness.

it should accelerate faster since it has less rotating mass!

True, but right in the beginning of the forum, I cant remember who it was, but I think it was Julius who said that the lighter shaft will make very little difference to the acceleration. However, I would think it would make a difference, as the overall weight is affected and that will make the difference. But I think the titanium shaft will be much more resilient to damage.

Can you see the difference in acceleration?

i will be afraid to run that car and get it dirty:)

My beloved 710
 

Hope you enjoy it

That's nice looking! :nod:

I have the 3Racing titanium shaft on the 710. So does crashed_1. Did not weight it but it is certainly lighter than the stock one.

Re: Nice work, Jabroni !
 

Just guessing here but I think it's because he has not have them yet?;)

You are right. Somebody mentioned about it. I believe it was Michael Salven. It was actually to give a reason why the shaft on the 710 was not hollow. The weight reduction in terms of rotational mass is insignificant considering the fact that a hollow shaft would greatly reduce strenght. Rotational mass savings would be insignificant due to the mass being centered very closely to the rotational axis.

Yes you are right. No doubt that there is some savings in rotational mass as well as static mass. Don't know about being more resilient though. I know that the 2 speed shaft on the 705 is pretty susceptible to bending upon impact.

I guess ! :rolleyes: :lol:

so for impact purposes ,leave the stock shaft for reliability!

I think the stock shaft on the 710 is much better than on the 705. Anyway, if the 3Racing shafts are indeed of good titanium grade (which I think they are), then it should hold up.

thank you only 8,000 more to go to catch you:D
