drive shaft specifications needed

[hydroboyv9]

What are the specifications on the material used on a normal drive shaft. I was going to look into getting a piece of material but I wasn't sure what to look for and where I could look.

Getin' the shaft

On My Yamato C mod a cut down stock shaft works well. Pro Motors sometimes use an extention from a socket set. Stock shafts from fishing outboards work well , and can be cut for couplers.( get free "busted ones " from your marina buddy ) I have never purchased "new" materal to make a shaft.

Is it for the Konig? If it is get it from Steve, it is a metric size.

It's for the 250 yamato.

Drive Shaft

I tried that many years ago looking for driveshaft material for my Konig and my 500 yamato. I did try the stock yamato 80 drive shaft on the 500 dont remember if we altered it or not to fit but it worked well.
The best advice is try Jim Mckean he would know for sure and get it from him.

I might have one for the 250 Yamato you can use for the weekend, assuming you also run a Yamato unit as well. Come down and see us, we'll be there Thursday.

Drive Shaft Material

Brennen,

I use 12mm Key Stock. Its available at most bearing shops. Its usually Zinc plated so it won't rust as easily. I carry extra in my trailer if you need some. It should arrive in the pits thursday morning.
