The BAC Carbon
Fiber/Aluminum Kart Axle will fit
all
existing wheel hubs, brake hubs,
etc.
Not Recommended
For Use with Floating Hubs. |

U.S. Patented
Design
The BAC Carbon Fiber Axle design
utilizes the highest strength carbon fiber
material. The axles are fabricated via a
filament winding machine (not hand-rolled carbon
fabric). This results in the highest
strength/lightest weight axle possible. The BAC
Carbon Fiber Kart Axle is a homogeneous shaft that
has no key way cuts or snap ring grooves cut
into the carbon fiber. Keyways are provided in
an integral aircraft aluminum alloy sleeve which
is pressed and bonded (fused) over the entire
outside diameter of the carbon fiber axle. This
patented sleeve design encapsulates the O.D. of
the carbon fiber shaft in all the critical
areas.

Reduced Wheel Hop
- One Axle Is All You Need
No need for multiple axles
(different wall thicknesses) to get rid of wheel
hop...the BAC Carbon Fiber Axle is all you need! Our axles
virtually eliminate wheel hop due to the
inherent vibration dampening characteristics of
the composite core (built-in “shock absorber”) .
Customers have verified, our axles smooth out
the rough parts of the race track where as steel
axles amplify the ruts. Smoother is faster....! |
Greater Value
Although the BAC
Carbon Fiber Axle is
initially more expensive than conventional
steel axles, it will outlast several axles
throughout a racing season...saving you
money and dramatically reducing maintenance
hours replacing bent axles. |

Increased
Kart Acceleration!
The BAC Carbon Fiber Kart
Axle is the lightest
axle ever produced at
1.35 lbs! This amazing
decrease in rotational mass allows for a greater
acceleration rate of the kart down the straight
-a-ways.

Stronger Than Titanium!
Although the BAC Carbon Fiber/Aluminum
Kart Axle is the lightest axle
ever produced, it is also the strongest axle
ever produced (ref. Ultimate Load/Deflection
Chart). The superior strength is due to optimized laminate construction of carbon
fiber/epoxy of which the majority of the fibers are oriented along the X-axis
of the tube. The composite material properties, and ultimately the axle design,
were both derived from BAC's
highly successful carbon fiber sprint car
torque tube program (World of Outlaw Sprint
Series legal).
