Default 5mm steel custom drive shafts

Finally finished my hardened steel drive shafts, they are 5 mm diameter only, the ones I did in aluminium where not working really well because the screw threads where ruined in just few runs and I was loosing the screws every 10 minutes. I hope those work better

Raptorman57, I took the steel from my company, I started from 12mm rods, but if you need 10mm for any project I also have a bunch of it, just pm me with the lenghs, I'll send it to you if you pay the shipping.

Are they not telescopic shafts? They kinda look like it in the pics but you started with a solid 12mm rod to make them??????????

I'm curious. Can you take some detail pics if they are telescopic?
