[gixxer]

Can anyone tell me the weight of the db1 driveshaft?

[Matt Butcher]

do you mean the weight'ed inertia propshaft?

[gixxer]

Yep thats the boy

What do you want this information for? There are MANY considerations that would go into selecting the perfect propshaft weight.
If you have some trials you would like to do with a DB1 I am sure that you'd get great feedback from RudeTony (he's always a pleasure to deal with).

Hi - It is 38g

[gixxer]

It seems that any information on this car is top secret, Im a cnc machinist by trade And am gonna do some trials made with different materials dia's And weights ill just knock a load of different ones up And test them

Dont want to tread on anyones toes

I will save you lots of troubles.
The weighted prop with that comes with the car is the perfect weight calculated by formulas way beyond simple buggy racing!!

We have been working on a lighter version that is not yet available but will only work on high grip surfaces.

Nothing is top secret on a DB1 at all ....... :)

[gixxer]

The car is a racers dream already Im just lookin at it that some things might not suit everyone And as i am lucky enuff to have the machinery And skills at hand thought id just try it

Cheers gix

[RudeTony]

All input is more than welcome - we try hard but we will never claim that we know everything.......lets us know if you discover anything helpful or not

[gixxer]

Obviously ill start with standard weight And go from there And see what happens

Cheers gix

Hope you don't think I was being overly secretive gixxer .. just didn't want to give away RudeBits design details but Tony has replied as I thought he would.

There are a lot of considerations, some obvious, some less so and some down right unbelievable for most people!!

I've had a play with the DB1 format and can't improve it for that perspective. Even the base setup is great for most people.
I'd be very interested to know how you get on though.
