blunc Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 add me to your long list of admirers, you are a model ARTISTE! I do however have a small nit to pick.... your driveshaft is improperly "timed" and would not survive "real world" use for very long. Universal joint positioning should be mirrored otherwise there would be vibrations at higher speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.......thank you for the tip.......that is good to know.......believe it or not.......when I attached the drive shaftt to the axle and engine......I thought to put the joints in the same position but,i over looked it ......one of my weak points not paying close attention to what I am doing.........thanks.

blunc Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I'm fairly sure you must have gotten distracted by something SQUIRREL!!! because you saying you weren't paying close attention to what you're doing just doesn't seem to jive with the models we've seen you produce. PS. there have been a few other builders here that have not timed their driveshafts correctly either. Edited July 25, 2012 by blunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
