Driveshaft Issues On Hillclimb Car

[wardy18 33 1 Cars]

Has any one ever had any troubles with the right hand long driveshaft when running 3 Rosejointed Wishbones!?

 

i have a full 309 hub and shaft set up and have the front wheels set to about 2.5deg camber which has worked fine until yesterday on my last run at the hillclimb when the outer shaft has relesed itself from the middle joint so i lost all drive, this has hapened beofre but because i had the camber set wrong

 

I need to take the shaft out and remove all the grease to see exactly whats happened but it seems im going to have to wind my rose joints in more to allow the shaft to engage with the middle joint but this means my cambers will be wrong?!

 

what has everyone done to get around this a surely im not teh only one this has happened to?!

 

thanx

dont worry ive the half of the long driveshaft out which was causing the problem and its not spun teh splines or just disengaged from them, the end of the shaft with the splines on has actually snapped clean off so i now have 2 weeks to find a new 309 shaft.....
