question about titanium cardans

We have an important question:
A lot of our german and european customers told us that they have problems with the alloy hopup-cardans for the xray m18 standard wheels.
They use high power motors and tell us that the cardans
are always bent or broken.
Now we want to make titanium cardans for the standard wheels which will be very durable and won´t never break or bend.
So we want to know if you also have the problems with the alloy cardans.
I hop eyou can help us,
your AVM-RACINGTEAM

By cardans, do you mean driveshafts? If that is the case then yes, my Xray driveshafts are junk..along with the outdrives for the balldiffs. For what I paid I expected alot better!

Cardans

Hi Atilla! Long time no see...

Correct, "cardans" are CVDs or driveshafts
From experience I can only say that AVM's products are excellent as is the service you receive from them
My XRay's CVDs also looked a little tired from having a brushless. If AVM decide to make this product it will be a welcomed hop up part.

Not only Bl's but also a lot of tuned mod motors as well....im on my second pair of Xray CVD's and i also know Atomic came out with a steel version....but if you plan on making them stronger then i will just wait and see on picking up the Atomics.

Hi, now the driveshafts are ready.

They will cost 45,00 USD (2 front or 2 rear shafts)
They are also available for the M18T

I know that´s not cheap but cheaper than 2 or 3
alloy shafts which are allways damaged.

In the moment titaniun is very expensive and the conversion rate (USD/EUR) is very high.

I hope you will understnad that

I think on end of this week we can show some pics.
They are made of titanium and have a M3 thread and a thread-length of 7mm.
Our shafts are more durable because we use pins with a diameter of 2mm - not 1.5mm like the standard ones.
