Functionality of the Drive Shaft Assembly

This assembly consists of a long cylindrical shaft and a series of joints that allow it to accommodate the vehicle's motion and terrain irregularities ?️. It rotates at high speeds to deliver torque efficiently, ensuring smooth and responsive handling. The assembly absorbs the movement to maintain an even transfer of power, preventing damage to other components.
