I would say that it is impossible to have zero angle. The motor is always moving and the rear suspension moves as well. The stress on a u-joint under load is more evenly distributed the straighter the axle is. Once the drive shaft moves and puts a vector stress on it there are only a couple of points absorbing all of the load. Keeping it straight reduces the chances of blowing it out under extreme loading.
Thank you very much! My goal is to make this Cobra absolutely unique and a show car from top to bottom. That and making it look like it is not a Street Beasts kit...lol
isnt it bad for u-joints to have zero angle?

A little slow waiting for the owner and some parts. But I am working on the Lambo door hinges and fitting the body parts.
