Thats a good thread!

I think the chance for vibration actually making it to your drive stub is increased in a cv/uni over dogbones because there is play, no mechanical connection.
The cvd has pins (or bearings) that connect the 2 halfs making them smoother but also more prone to balance problems.
Dogbones aren't as tight so less efficient, less reiable and noisier.

The rear driveshaft/dogbone going from the center diff to the rear bulkhead is at a very slight angle looking over the top of the chassis. Maybe 5°. The out of phase dogbone may make a difference in this situation, this build. I won't know what really works best until I build what I have in mind. At this point, it's still just on paper, ideas.

I am very interested to see what you find!
This is well timed.

You should feel it when they leave the starting line .... my job on the line was to drive the starting cart up to the car on the line ... wait till it was started back the cart away ... then after the burn out ..... wipe the inside rear tire down by hand while it was backing to the line ..... once it takes off it takes your breathe away being 5-8 ft from the car

I have been on the line before. Years ago at New England Dragway... I was not that close for launches though.
The jet cars and wheelie "funny" cars were running that night.
I was pretty young. It was absolutely...

We have been talking about belt vs shaft drives and which might be better.
The phasing wasn't even brought up! Its def a tuning advantage for shafts!

Some 1:1 manufactures offset the axle assembly pinions to offset bad harmonics. It will be interesting to see how this all ends up working in the case of r/c's.
