has RCV started tapering their shafts "correctly" yet?

I have RCV shafts in my 14 bff. Not a steer axle. Havent had any problems been running them over two years.

Re: Re: Re: Stupid ?
In the past at least, rcv (and many other shaft builders) would cut splines into a blank and not taper the shafts down to the minor diameter of the splines.
It works fine for most people, and is still stronger than the joint/yokes in most cases,
But on a splined shaft, there is significant toughness/resilience to be gained by profiling the shaft.
Essentially making the shaft into a big torsion bar rather than just a bar with splines
