very strong great for comp work. not recommended for highway travel.
made to any lenght and made to fit most 4x4s
You will have a hard time busting them!!! most likely be the last thing to brake.

If we all just asked the opinion of Manufacturers then all products would be perfect wouldnt they. It never hurts to ask the opinion of people that us the product that are not involved in the making of the product.

it is ok to run on the highway if the drive shaft is running straight.
But if it is angle it is likly to heat up and flog out. remember it is traveling 4.88 times the speed it was desined to do so at 100km it is doing 488km.
in the tuff going though it is 4.88 times stronger than if it were still in the normal spot.
still heaps of people run them on the highway still. I guess I just chose not to wear mine out on the highway.
it also has a 10" slip joint great for the front of hiluxes with heaps of travel.
just more choice for people that bend and twist the normal drive shafts and need more angle than the normal cardinal joints offer!!
Take it as you like!
I dont get paid to sell the product i just know it works for what I do.

Yeh definately very strong, I am sure that the only time Pete or Glen (both run them in their cruisers, and Pete in the buggy as well) have broken them is from too much angle, but remember they have shitloads with the hydlaulics as well as normal shock travel.
Neither have broken them from too much torque or shock load.
Glens are a 100series CV's I think.
As for on road, Mic Christie had one in his GQ shortie with 6" lift about 6 years ago. He did shit loads of K's with it including trips to cape york, it lasted with no probs. Wasnt one of Dobbins, was one he did himself with a commodore CV.

Thats right RUFF, thats why we post Qs here, to find out other peoples opinions.
On dobbins site it states "run up to 45 degree shaft angle" im guessing thats without the cardin joint...?
Are 100series CVs the cream of the crop or whats up there strength wise at the moment...
