Serpent SRX8 | SRX8GT Double Cardan Joint Driveshafts

Serpent has released new Double Cardan Joint front driveshafts for its SRX8 and SRX8GT platforms that are specifically enginnered for high steering-angle applications.  Traditional universal-joint drive shafts begin to bind as steering angle increases, creating additional friction, inconsistent wheel speed, and unnecessary drivetrain load.  98mm for the buggy and 94mm for GT, the Double Cardan Joint design virtually eliminates these effects, maintaining a much smoother transfer of power even beyond 30 degrees of steering angle.  Designed for modern high-angle GT steering geometry, the benefits of the new shafts is lower stress on drive cups, joints, and bearings, and a more predictable steering feel under acceleration.
