^ If you listen in the video, you can hear her wheel hop the driveshaft to its death.

I just ordered a shartmasters a few days ago and after reading this shit I’m thinking about canceling the order!!!

The video clearly shows she hopped the car so bad the DS couldn't conform to the pinion rising so far and shaking. This is not a DS issue this is user error. This is a clear example of why warranty's are harder and harder to get. She is also in a stick car on DRAG RADIALS (not slicks). She is to blame but the DS manufacturer takes a beating on the forums.I have a DSS shaft and have ran 1.30 sixty foots and low 9's with zero issue.

Carbon fiber is overated... though i do agree she caused the failure.. she needs an automatic, and she’ll beat up justin’s s-197...

Imo this is the order I would choose a drive shaft :

1) Chromoly (heavy but strong)

2) Aluminium (light but has a cycle time)

3) Carbon fiber (very light but not forgiving)

I don't agree with the aluminum cycle time on the driveline. My 13 sec. chipped diesel truck 1000+ tq. has been beating on one for 285,000 mi. and still has original u-joints.

But if we were talking Aluminum connecting rods I would agree 100% :cheers:

Just installed my Shaftmasters 3.5” aluminum ds yeaterday and road tested after install. I had zero vibrations with a noticeable change and improvement in throttle response with a direct drive feeling. Very happy with this upgrade, I highly recommend it!
