Advanced Composite Products and Technology (ACPT) is a company that deals with high tech composites for Aerospace, Military, Industrial and Commercial applications. If I'm not mistaken, this is the same company Trust/GReddy use to make their carbon fiber propeller shaft.
So why would I want a carbon fiber propeller shaft you might ask. Well, these propeller shafts weigh 7.0kg, almost half of the normal 13.4kg. This equates to lower rotational mass, much like a lightened flywheel, which allows more of you engine's power to be applied to the ground. There are many other benefits too so go check out their site and find out.
These carbon fiber propeller shafts are made to order so I had to place an order at least 4-6 weeks in advance. There were a couple of hiccups along the way and it was delayed for two and a half months. Something about their batch of shafts weren't passing their quality tests so they had to make new ones. Anyway, it is finally here!
