here's the new electo-less nickle plated spline for our irs axles going into desert cars replacing 930-934 934.5 and series 30 now-Jess:D http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/uploads/post-11372-1178734374.jpg

this is what axle looks like assembled- JESS

here's the parts the series 30 will use - There the larger of the two -12,000 ft-lbs capable- Jess:D

We have some new samples of parts that are more slim line - And we expect them to handle 40 degree's - The u joints are expensive 220$ each- The 1/2 shafts are 2,200 each side though-less then series 30 - Jess

they look like u joints from a duce?between the tranney and the divorced t case?

The new ones I just got are between 1550 (3 ton ) and 1610 (5 ton) more along what I was looking for - Cool looking U joint -Makes a 1480 look stupid- along with a ctm d-60 wheel joint -Not to say jack Does not make good stuff- Its just a size comparison- Jess

We will also have some news on how a set did in a race on a class 12 car this last weekend- Jess

The class 12 car did not do well- We are dealing with a hot slip issue- It either cooked the boots off -or a boot failed to keep greace in- 60 miles is all we got got- the upside he noticed the extra wheel travel and the car ran great over the whoops- Now if i can iron out the boot issue were golden - Jess

Stubid question. You are ditching the CV's and running Ujoints instead?

yes we are- And its becoming a quite a nitch market - We are working our way thru the desert stuff now- the sand cars are working very well- Over 150 axles out there working well- Jess

here a pic of the first full on race car-

Ditch the fuse to protect the transaxle?

Not sure what your refereing to? Jess

At one point you were talking about using them I think.

we are still keeping it on board- Some want it some don't -We are getting test data back every other weekend- Jess

here's a pic of the heat sink for the slip -It also acts as a greace resevior- Jess

spell grease right, you hippie :flipoff2:


nice stuff.

ill be calling you sooner or later for my cruiser shafts.

hehe -ever try hunt and pecking ? Its hard -Jess :)

What is the highest max angle and max plunge you have used on a sand car? How do the trans output flange bearings hold up?

Max angle 40 degree's -plunge from 8" depending on length of the actual shaft to 12" if needed- and the Bearings on the bigger trans axles are not having any issues- The 2d is a bit of a weaker unit and hard use can cause side cover issues just jumping the vehicle- Jess

here's the new style Elbe german made parts we will be using on the series 30- Just about 4 ton rated- Jess

sounds cool jesse. hope it solves the problem.

does the spline on the yoke dictate the spline on the slip, or is the yoke made to match the slip?

Its all custom made -So not really-Jess

if the suspension did not have the distance from the hub to the differential changing, would you feel comfortable not having a slip joint.

I can't believe you could ever get a setup so perfect that the distance wouldn't change enough to cause problems with the joints.

those heat sniks are freeken rad

here's a pic of the smaller one almost done- the heat sink took 50 degree's away at 1000 rpms in 30 seconds- We are very happy with the results-118" of cooling surface- :D -HAs anyone ever seen a greace-able heat sink ? This whole unit will hold aprox 1/2 of a canister of Desert gold (cat gold) -Jess

Thats nuts i might just have to go to u joints can u anodize those heat sinks blue

We should be able to -It will add a little time though- Jess

here's the 250 horse to 600 horse 930 race axles - This heat sink is thicker and lower profile - Still pulls the heat down real nice- Jess

here's one complete - powder coated- Jess
