I am sure Drew will be on later to give out the specs. ENJOY........
And yes I am drooling over that 35 spline, 300M, gun drilled, Dana 60 floater shaft... :D

thats a nice shaft:flipoff2: LOL looks beefy

wow that is beefy!!! Just wondering, does the gun drilled effect make the axle weaker??? It seems like it would but Im not sure. I know it probably for lightness though. right?

neckdown! LOL

read the thread about .Who has the best shaft....or something like that

Here are the pics of my axles. The hump near the end is for inner axle seals. They are made of 4340, 1 1/2"-35 spline on both ends for a Dana 60, 1.3 OD with a .688 ID, it is a 28% reduction in weight with only a 8% loss in strength vs the same axle that is solid.

The big axle is the 2 9/16"-40 spline that we make for the Chrisman rearend. These ones are for Damien Jeffrey's Trophy Truck that just won the Best in the Desert championship, about 750 hp, 37" BFG projects, and 26" front and 30" rear wheel travel. They get so much traction, they tear the tires apart, in the dirt! The axles are made from 300M, and cost about $3500 per pair. One of the pictures shows that a 35 spline axle fits inside the chrisman axle. [/QUOTE]

Holy crap that's a BIG axle!!:eek: :eek: They ever break one?

Weeeeelll, lookie here.

Both axles have the minor diameter of the spline root greater than the working diameter of the shaft.....what some call a "neck down" and what dozens of supposedly hardcore experts tried sooooo hard to convince me was weak, stupid, and just book theory :flipoff2:

You clowns can start apologising now :rasta:

Sweeeeet!

Drew when are you gonna finish that thing?

Piggy, any word yet on the stuff? Yeah, you know what I mean.

Kevo

On the big axle, I have never seen one of ours break, I think they break the ones that chrisman makes once in a while though. That axle is so hungus, they will never break one from a one time overload. Most of the guys running these mag them often, after a few years they will develop fatigue cracks from the root of the spline and they will replace them. The minor diameter is kind of large on this set so they are pretty stiff, but some guys prefer to make the dia smaller to allow the axle to twist, it is much more forgiving to the rest of the drive train, especially the R&P.

I am trying to finish my thing for Moab easter week, I think we are going to have a goat trip. I sent Mr Pig some of the latest pics.

Drew you mind if I post those top secret pics of your rig?

Put'm up. Let everybody see.:eek:

Here.............

I eat 300M gun drilled full floater dana 60 axle shafts for breakfast. :skull:

Thats got to hurt comin out the other end...

...cracks the bowl :nuke:

If you post the pics, There will probably 4 knock-offs of my rig before I am done, but go-ahead if you want to.

I can see where I won't be ordering anything like that in the near future. :rasta: Definatley beefy and definatley outta my budget.

However 3500 for this may be doable. ;) No I'm not talking just the pic either.

I'll keep those pics on hold then.

Has anyone tried building axleshafts out of Fatigue Proof (http://www.emjmetals.com/emjonline/esl.exe?hactid=0&hacmid=1&hacmid=1&haclev=0&eslgrp=3&eslmtl=0&eslgrps=Bar%20%2B%20Structural&eslmtls=Carbon&eslgrd=Fatigue%20Proof%99&eslm1=Chemistry&eslm2=Tensile&eslm3=Yield&eslm4=Rockwell%20Hardness&eslcur=231&eslsz=65535&eslfid=0&eslfgrp=0&eslfmat=0&eslfgrd=0&eslfdesc=0&eslfdtxt=0&eslfsize=0&eslfsizes=0&eslfsp=0&eslftens=0&eslftrmt=0&eslfyeld=0&eslfelon=0&eslfspec=0&eslfbspc=0&eslfchm=0&eslfmech=0&eslfapps=0&eslfelon2in=0&eslfelon2pr=0&eslfelon8in=0&eslfrwhd=0&eslfbrhd=0&eslfreda=0&eslfizod=0&eslfform=0&eslftitle=0&eslfbdsg=0&eslfmcom=0&eslfchry=0&eslfchri=0&eslfvchr=0&eslfm90cb=0&eslfmach=0&eslfcspd=0&eslfweld=0&eslftols=0&eslfforg=0&eslfhdng=0&eslfhtrt=0&eslfcarb=0&eslfcorr=0&eslftest=0&eslfannl=0&eslfbend=0&eslfnorm=0&eslftchr=0&eslftemp=0&eslfpnch=0&eslfshfc=0&eslfrtsc=0&eslfstrl=0&eslfsalt=0&eslfshapes=0&eslfpnum=0&) How would it compare to 1541 or 4340?

Fatigue Proof is good to use if you do not plan to heat treat the parts, as it has good mechanical properties and machines well the way it comes. It doesn't have the strength required for axles so you would be better off with a heat treatable allow such as 4340 or 1541. We sometimes use it for antiroll bars for cars that need a higher strength material than 1045 or 1018.
