stevanford Member 268 Member For: 13y 2m 27d Posted 26/03/13 06:05 AM Share Posted 26/03/13 06:05 AM Guys, I was just wondering which would you go for and why ? I was speaking with my Tailshaft builder today and he mentioned that he would go with a 1 piece as it would be lighter and improve throttle response. He also said that it wouldn't vibrate like some people think it would. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84392-1-piece-vs-2-piece-tailshafts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rednose mentioned, he is considered one of the best in the business and has stated that I can try both and see which I prefer which is why I brought the question up.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 28d Gender: Male Posted 27/03/13 12:16 AM Share Posted 27/03/13 12:16 AM Its about critical speed. As tailshaft length increases the critical speed decreases and at the one piece length it is in its critical zone. But in saying that guys are using them with no problems but still gotta be built with the right size materials. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84392-1-piece-vs-2-piece-tailshafts/#findComment-1374892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote All rotating shafts, even in the absence of external load, will deflect during rotation. The unbalanced mass of the rotating object causes deflection that will create resonant vibration at certain speeds, known as the critical speeds.Vibrating shafts are for girls, not cars. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84392-1-piece-vs-2-piece-tailshafts/#findComment-1375056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
