I would have gone with Jess, but Tom Wood's sported me these....Excuse me if these have been posted before, but I haven't seen them here...

This is the Rock-n' Roll shaft. There is a 2.75" primary tube inside the 4.0" outer tube that turns independently of the primary inner-tube....For the slow, that means if I hook the shaft on a rock, I still transfer torque to the axle. Pretty bitchen concept and executed very well. Those are 1350's btw...Me like...

Cool concept... can the outer tube support the rig on a rock without hitting the inner and causing binding anyway ???


Do I dare ask how much they run??

 

[Weasel]

Yeah they can suport the weight of the rig. There was a video floating around of Chris Durham showing these off. He dropped the rear driveshaft of his CJ-8 on a big rock and sat there with the wheels still spinning. Seemed to work well.

We'll see if it does...But I'm very confident it won't...I've got a good 1/2"+ before contact with the inner shaft...Sure it could happen, but the idea is that you "can" keep going when you do make contact with a ledge...It's up to you how far you want to push it from there! I realize it's not a slider, but in a pinch it could mean the difference between making it or breaking it.

Cost? Hmmmmmm. Not as bad as you might think.

Is there some kind of bushing or bearing between the two tubes?

 

[onetoncv]

One thing actually two- -if its thick enough then it would never get hurt anyways spinning on rocks- second you just sit on the rock and spin! sit-and spin? we tried the spy-roll where its threaded and actually moves you up the rock! but hey its all good for competition- Jesse

 

[Todd W]

What happened to the spyroll ??

Sounds interesting

 

[onetoncv]

well - its still here and awaiting ol lance to flip it around and drop it on a rock for us- Should maybe get camo's front with it when he goes to the front 60- Jess

 

[onetoncv]

and the .250 wall tube 2 1/2 diameter not 4" - that's a friggen huge ass tube -Jess

 

[onetoncv]

and last one of the tube- Jess

 

[Todd W]

How much more?

I`m gonna be ordering a shaft from you soon .. well my Flanges first But anywho... how much more does that .250 wall tube 2 1/2 diameter with spiral cost ???

 

[onetoncv]

basically your looking at about 75$ more mainly for extra machine work and a little more for tube cost- but the spy-roll is not a huge deal- Jess

 

[Todd W]

Gotcha...

are all your shafts 250 wall tube 2 1/2 diameter ??

Then you just add spiral onto that... ?

 

[H8monday]

I was talking with J.E.Reel about making some of those tubes. But since I have been running his .250 wall 2 1/2" shafts, I havent even been able to bend one.
I think Ill stay with just running good strong shafts.
Chris sure does make a good advertising selling point though, as hard as he is on his drive train.

 

[onetoncv]

he's a good guy to have running your shafts especially if he gets thru the season and it lives- chris drive's em hard! Jess

 

[Todd W]

Jeff ya but so do you!

You beat the hell out of your shafts as well and you just repoted no dentage


Now you just gotta fix em so they don't slip apart up front

 

[Todd W]

Jesse-


are all your shafts 250 wall tube 2 1/2 diameter ??

Then you just add spiral onto that... ?

 

[onetoncv]

no there certainly not all .250 wall - I'll do these custom for guys who are abusive- Then I'll add the spy-roll idea before it get's built- Its a 4 thread per inch with a huge round cutter -Jess

 

[Todd W]

Ok- I gotcha..

So $75 more for Spy-Roll and then
how much more $$ for the .250 wall?

 

[onetoncv]

its included in the 75$ price for now- Jess
