Somethink like this is what I have in mind.

I'm getting fed up with it throwing the prop off and now shreaded one of the splines.

Is the stock one weak or something ? Can you guys explain to me the reason for upgrading the propshaft ? Maybe a bit more happy revving ?

FR dispositions are new things for me :roll:

Thanks !!

The stock one is basically a steel tube crimped onto two rubber doughnuts at either end, and the drive is transmitted through these rubbers. So they're very weak. The vibration damping is fantastic, but they will wear out and break, even at stock power levels, if you drive it harshly, and also over time.

Seems there's a couple of options at about the same cost. Reco-prop (google for website) or Dai or Nev.
