  Torque Tube Finishes Available
1. Clear, High-Gloss Hard Coat (Natural Carbon Fiber Appearance)
2. Satin Black Hard Coat
 
Dimensions
P/N 30TTA
Length = 26 3/8" & 28 3/4"
O.D. = 2.990"*
I.D. = 2.632"*
Weight = 4.3 lbs.

* These dimensions provide extra clearance for any type/manufacturer of inside or outside torque balls. BAC recommends .007" total diameter difference between torque tube and torque ball to keep suspension free. This is recommended regardless of what type of torque tube you may run: aluminum or carbon fiber.

The LIGHTEST and STRONGEST Torque Tube Ever Built!

Will Not Permanently Bend or Break Even In A Crash!
Although the BAC Carbon Fiber Torque Tube is more expensive initially, it will outlast several aluminum torque tubes and prevent rear end snouts from being bent even in a hard crash.  This results in less long term cost and maintenance.  It is simply a great value.  Track experiences have confirmed that upon car impact with wall (worse case scenario) the BAC Carbon Fiber Torque Tube deflects, but does not break or remain bent. (After impact, all other torque tubes will either break or remain bent.) Rear end snout studs may pull out, but that simply requires replacing the studs. There is no need to remove the torque tube! You’re back out on the track faster without wondering if your suspension is working properly!

When Safety Counts...
Since the BAC Torque Tube only weighs 4.3 lbs, remains straight and in one piece even after a crash, it increases the safety to the driver’s legs by containing the driveshaft components with a lightweight, energy-absorbing composite structure.        ...Accept Nothing Less!

Ultimate Load/Deflection Tests


Optimized Design Through Structural Analysis
Utilizing aerospace structural analysis techniques, the BAC Carbon Fiber Torque Tube is an optimized design with no stress risers, (typical failure location for all other torque tube designs is at the tube and base junction). Ultimate load tests revealed an ultimate strength of 4864 lbs vs. 3540 lbs. for aluminum torque tubes (37% increase in strength). The superior strength is due to an optimized laminate construction of carbon fiber/epoxy of which the majority of the fibers are oriented along the X-axis of the tube.

Features

  • Ultra High Strength Carbon Fiber Composite - Axially Oriented Fibers to Maximize Bending Strength and Stiffness
  • Optimized Design Through Structural Analysis Part Does NOT Permanently Bend or Break Even in a Crash!
  • Black-Anodized, Billet Aluminum
