| good point, i haven't given the driveshafts much thought yet. I know I will have to change length so i will likely beef them up while I'm at it. |

| I would go with balanced square, which is almost bomb proof as far as the shaft is concerned. _________________ "A yahoo made dangerous with power tools"  MARR step up or step out Who me? I didn't do it and you can't prove it.

| since you will be traveling at higher speeds than normal, I don't like to say this but, you prob. should consider spending the money and having a shop make one for you that is truly balanced, i am sure that they can make one for you that will handle the stress on your abuse  also i believe that they can use almost any thickness tubing on the shaft ,within reason

| I don't know of a driveshaft shop that will balance a square shaft most tractor pto's only run 550 rpm think about the high speed. square shafts are very strong but i don't think it would be good for racing |
