Anyone heard of a new 1550 or Rockwell 40 spline axle shaft coming out

collinmaune · Nov 19, 2019

There has been some talk a East coast company is coming out shortly with a 1550 40 spline inner 32 spline outer axle shaft or possibly a rockwell size u joint axle shaft. Has anyone else heard this and can shed some more light on to what company it might be or when these might be able to be purchases?

Branik?

May 28 on Branik Motorsports FB page:
1550, 300m, ujoints and 32 spline stub shafts NEXT!!!!!!!!
And below that some really cool splined yoke ends

32 spline being the HUGE 05 up SD60 spline eliminating a lockout. As for 40 spline, he has at least 1480 40 spline on his FB page, a call or email to Stan would probably clear up more as for what he has.

I've ran the 1480 40 spline stuff without issue for 2 years
Branik has the 1550 Yokes made but they are developing their own 1550 ujoint to compliment them and that is why they aren't available yet

They say it's a different company besides Branik.

Who are "they" and why won't they just tell you who it is?

It's a few people on Facebook in different groups.

bringing this thread back to life instead of starting another one....

So there is some pretty cool stuff coming out lately, and just so happens I'm in the market for front shafts. So before I sell my soul for RCVs, I've been kicking around some options/ ideas.

My front end is 40 spline inner / 47 spline outer. So this is what I'm looking at different options for.

Obviously RCV is the bees knees. But lets talk about the other brands.

These monsters just dropped recently.

1550 vs 1480

'Rhodes diffs' is also also offering these with a 'no questions asked warranty'

collinmaune · Apr 6, 2020

For these they are 500 for the stubs and $850 for the CTM u joints and I would guess 800 for the inners. So around $2,100 or so. I think oversons are right about there for 40 and 47 spline, maybe a little more expensive. They are 650 for u joints, 600 for stubs and I would say 900-1000 for inners. Really depends on what you want to run I guess.

I don't think Rhodes is offering anything in the 47 spline flavor, checked this morning. So it may be down to Ouverson and RCV for me. Or a combination.... don't really want to mix and match to be honest.

collinmaune · Apr 6, 2020

Since you are running 47 outer, I'm assuming you have ouverson splindles and super 8's? I know a lot of people like RCV's, I just like a u joint over a cv joint. That is just me personally. Another option is Overtime CNC Keith Berry. He makes some badass Mega truck stuff. He made the hubs spindles etc on the bounty hunter buggy.

Yeah, Ouverson aluminum super 8s with the Crane Magnum Cs & knuckles .

Just read on FB that RCV is still open but not currently shipping.
