Default Cvd - vvd?

What are everyone's opinions on the strongest axle steering shafts? Axial, VP, ssd, others?
Which ones are rebuildable with available parts?

Axial Universals are my pick over VVDs. But Dlux has their FBA universals also...have yet to see one blow up yet.

VVDs are rebuildable though.

DLux FBA shafts are easily the strongest. Nothing else comes close.

Those look cool, I wonder if at 100$ it will outlast 3 sets of axial...?

FBA's with 8mm stubs are hands down the strongest. The 8mm stub is a better material than axial universals so they don't wear out nearly as fast.

Axial universals are a great choice and cheap. But they will get sloppy eventually and then weak.

Vvd's are rebuildable but aren't as strong as universals and they will get sloppy as a $3 whore if you don't out right break one requiring new inner shafts that are about the same price as a set of universals.

The FBA are also technically rebuild-able. I dont have the parts on my website but I can sell them or put them together for you if you ever had a problem.

All my testers used to blow up every type of shaft possible. We are going on 3 months of abuse and all those guys who used to break shafts regularly are having great luck with them.
