  3. INTRODUCING RCV CARBON FIBER PROP SHAFT FOR YAMAHA YXZ

    INTRODUCING RCV CARBON FIBER PROP SHAFT FOR YAMAHA YXZ

    INTRODUCING RCV CARBON FIBER PROP SHAFT FOR YAMAHA YXZ

      

    ROCKFORD, IL. (March 14, 2019) – RCV Performance Products introduced the CARBON FIBER prop shaft to our UTV line a couple years ago, and it can now be found in top UTV racer’s machines across the country. The carbon fiber design is nearly HALF the weight of OEM, reducing rotational mass, increasing acceleration, and reducing any possibility of vibration. Additionally, the dampening effect of carbon fiber will reduce shock load and stress on other components such as the transmission and front differential.  The heavier steel tube will see deflection at high-RPM critical speed, the low mass and high rigidity of carbon fiber reaches a critical speed much higher than any UTV is capable of.

    Tested at over twice as strong as OEM, the new Yamaha YXZ RCV prop shaft features 1-piece 300M stubs, replacing and eliminating the common crown gear issue the YXZ has. The carbon fiber prop shaft for Yamaha YXZ is built to withstand high speed racing abuse. Designed as an OEM replacement for 2016 and up Yamaha YXZ1000R / YXZ1000SS. Backed by a 1 Year Warranty against breakage to the original purchaser.

    RCV Yamaha YXZ CF prop shaft vs OEM Yamaha YXZ propshaft test results show the RCV prop shaft at 3400 torque ft. lbs., compared to the OEM at only 1400 torque ft. lbs.

    MSRP is $799.95

    2-Seat Yamaha YXZ part number:
    YXZ-PS-R-CF

  4. NEW RCV Axle Set for Jeep Wrangler JL and JL Rubicon

    Introducing the Ultimate CV Axles for Jeep Wrangler JL & JL Rubicon

    The RCV Performance Ultimate CV Axles for Jeep JL Rubicon Dana 44 provide unmatched strength and smoothness you can feel.  The RCVs simply replace your OEM Jeep JL axle shafts with a high-strength constant velocity design.  Our CVs eliminate oscillation and "crow hop" caused by the uneven power delivery of a u-joint axle.  The RCV CVs provide 6 points of fully-engaged contact throughout any angle up to 45 degrees, providing 100% strength even when the steering is turned to lock.  

    The RCV Jeep JL CV for Dana 44 is 18% larger than our previous Dana 44 design and uses our same Dana 60 architecture.  Tests prove our axles to be twice as strong as OEM.  Even with big tires and big power there are no worries.  RCV Performance Ultimate CV Axles are low maintenance and operate with a smoothness you can feel - whether off-road or on the street.  All backed with a Lifetime Warranty against breakage up to a 43" tire.

    RCV axles are a direct OEM replacement, retaining the Jeep's "Front Axle Disconnect" module and retains full functionality of the FAD system.  No warning lights, and no further modifications needed.

    RCV Performance Products Expands the Ultimate CARBON FIBER Prop Shaft UTV Line

    ROCKFORD, IL. (September 25, 2018) – RCV Performance has been a leader in the UTV racing industry for several years now.  Working with many of the top drivers across several different segments of UTV racing, we have been able to gain knowledge which has led us to refine our products for the best possible performance and reliability.

    With years of experience and testing, we are perfecting the ultimate prop shaft solution for UTVs. Contrary to popular belief, the vibration issues in many OEM applications is not caused by the carrier bearing.  U-joints oscillate by design; this movement causes vibrations.  The vibrations will prematurely wear on components such as bearings or output shafts.  Our CV design eliminates the problem, the u-joint.

    The RCV Ultimate Carbon Fiber Prop Shaft feature specially designed 300M CVs that eliminate phasing and vibration issues caused by the u-joint.  The carbon fiber design with hard-coated 7075 aluminum end yokes is nearly HALF the weight of OEM, reducing rotational mass, increases acceleration, and reduces any possibility of vibration. Additionally, the dampening effect of carbon fiber will reduce shock load and stress on other components such as transmission and front differential. The heavier steel tube will see deflection at high-RPM critical speed, the low mass and high rigidity of carbon fiber reaches a critical speed much higher than any UTV is capable of.  The RCV CV design is unmatched in smoothness and strength over any u-joint prop shaft.  Prop shaft and components are compl

  8. RCV PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCED AS “OFFICIAL UTV AXLE OF ULTRA4 RACING”

    RCV Performance Products specializes in industry leading quality parts for countless motorsports applications from Ultra4 race cars, desert cars, Pro4 trucks, to Jeeps, Toyotas, UTVs, and Rock Bouncers.  All products from RCV are designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested with pride in the USA.

    RCV Performance has been proud to be involved in King of the Hammers since the beginning.  Over the years the progression of the industry has demanded more and more product that can handle the abuse of the “toughest 1-day race in the world”, and we have been there every step of the way providing the best solutions possible.  When the UTV race was introduced, we saw another need and began to develop what we feel is the Strongest Axle on the Planet.

    RCV Performance is proud to announce that we are the Official UTV Axle of King of the Hammers and Ultra4 Racing for 2018!  We have worked closely with the top drivers in the UTV industry to develop the Pro Series line of UTV axles.  Specifically designed for heat and shock load abuse, they have proved to make the difference.  We are happy to say RCV axles were in the 2016 and 2017 winning King of the Hammers UTVs!

    When we asked 2016 King of the Hammers UTV winner Black Van De Loo what he thought the main factor in winning the race was, he said “We broke three axles last year, it was a tough day … When we came to the sand hill, I knew I had to hammer on it chasing Guthrie, and I knew we could do it this year… the big change was I didn’t break axles, I was running RCV axles.”

    You can’t win if you don’t finish.

    For information on these products, please call us at 815-877-7473, email us at sales@rcvperformance.com, or visit us online at www.rcvperformance.com.  Make sure to ask about our Ultra4 Race Program!

  9. RCV PRO SERIES XRB LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY AXLES FOR POLARIS DESIGNED FOR “XTREME” ROCK BOUNCERS

     RCV Performance Products introducing the new “Pro Series XRB” axle for the Polaris RZR XP Turbo.  The new axles feature a plunging inboard and outboard CV, taking every opportunity to improve and maximize strength and longevity.  The CVs are constructed with premium aircraft grade components such as the race and cage.  The front axle is our Pro Series 33 spline shaft, which is second only to our rear 40 spline shaft – by far the largest axle diameter in the industry.  The rear CVs have been increased in size comparable to a Dana 44 CV (full size truck) to take advantage of additional room at the hub.

    These axles are designed for harsh hill climb or “rock bouncing” racing conditions where shock load and impacts are significant.  The specially engineered RCV grease is featured in both the inboard and outboard CVs to battle these extreme conditions.

    The XRB axle will be the first axle in the UTV line to offer a limited LIFETIME warranty.

    Tim Cameron, Rockbouncer driver and Southern Rock Racing Series UTV 2016 and 2017 champion says, “These axles have been unbelievably strong!  There have been times during competition I would have to force the machine through an obstacle and I’m able to do so with confidence knowing that my XRB axles are the Strongest Axles on the Planet.”

    Sean Carlini, Engineer at RCV Performance, says, “We have been testing this new axle design for over a year in several different environments from extreme hill climbing and rock crawling, to short-course woods racing, and we are pleased with the results. Our in-house tests have shown the axle to be the strongest aftermarket solution available.”
