Fast Shafts Drive Shaft Assemblies: Race-Proven Performance Since 1992
When it comes to transferring power from the transmission to the rear axle under the punishing demands of oval track racing, few names carry more weight than Fast Shafts. A division of Axle Exchange, Inc., Fast Shafts has been manufacturing high-quality racing driveshafts and driveline components since 1992. Originally founded as a constant velocity axle rebuilder, Axle Exchange expanded into performance driveline solutions with the introduction of the Fast Shafts driveshaft line — built specifically for the demands of oval track racing.
Material Options Built for Every Racing Application
Not all drive shaft assemblies are created equal, and Fast Shafts understands that different racing classes demand different solutions. The company builds steel driveshafts using DOM 1020 "Drive Shaft Quality" tubing; 4130 chromoly for lighter yet very strong shafts; aluminum alloy 6061-T6 for lightweight aluminum applications; and a race-proven carbon fiber line built with premium materials and assembly processes. This breadth of material choices means racers running Late Models, Modifieds, Stock Cars, Dirt Trucks, or Hobby Stocks can find a drive shaft assembly precisely matched to their class rules and performance goals.
Precision Manufacturing and Expert Balancing
What separates a Fast Shafts drive shaft assembly from an off-the-shelf part is the level of care built into every unit. The team prides itself on measuring down to 1/16" on every driveshaft build, with all shafts precisely fabricated using quality products and balanced using high-end machinery. Every driveshaft manufactured is precisely built to the customer's specifications and professionally balanced using the finest balancing machinery. This commitment to tolerances matters enormously at race speeds, where even minor imbalances can cause vibration, premature wear, or catastrophic failure.
Trusted Across the Racing Community
Fast Shafts is the title sponsor of the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational at the IMCA Super Nationals and currently builds driveshafts for 90% of the major chassis builders. Fast Shafts is the result of many years spent testing, innovating, and building driveshafts, and today stands as a premier manufacturer of performance driveshafts supplying race teams and motorsports distributors throughout the United States. That on-track validation is a key reason so many competitors trust Fast Shafts assemblies when championships are on the line.
