Looks good mikey.. ur almost there!

There gonna send me an actual quote and I will find out. I needed the flange to flange dimensions first, they will give me estimated weight when they figure it all up. They like to do double boots and heat sinks for dezert racing. I dont think the heat sinks will fit between the arms though.do you guys have any idea how much more rotating mass those u-joint style shafts will add??

I am currently running these axles on my R1 rhino. Things to think about, they are pretty heavy, I have snapped the yoke on one side (supposedly rated for 500 hp) I have since upgraded both yokes to a forged steel one (about $150.00 per side after they rebalance the axles) and the best for last. The degrees.... the side at the gearbox will get around 38*, but the side at the wheel is around 23-24*, so beware sometimes the sales pitch is just that, see for yourself before you purchase them. I am not totally unhappy, they have worked for me for the most part, but I will probably be going with cv's and summers bros. soon. I am not getting any real advantage currently as far as angle and I am having to spin quite a bit more weight. Oh yeah and when I sent the axles back to get repaired it took almost 4 weeks for me to get them back, and that was after about 8-10 phone calls.Check out driveshaftsuperstore.com They have one good for 200 hp for 550$ per pair and another good for more power for 650$.
Not sure, the yoke flange binds on the axle shaft when the wheel rotates. And I thought it was really strange too that one side had less angle capabilities, they should be the same so the move / travel together throughout the suspension cucle. It might just be the ones coming from this shop, the pictures you posted are different axles than the ones I have. My only suggestion is to check the degrees for yourself.Great info, why does one side have less angle? You stopped me in my tracks. Back to 930 then!!
looks good man almost time to drive that kawiyamyrzr... are you going to be racing in the sr1 class with the rhinos does this car meet the specs? or is this just a dune toy?
