Question are Richmond Gears the strongest for 10bolt

I need to know if this is true. I think I broke my Yukons and need to replace them.
This car hooks with a 1.57 60' What do you think..is Richmond the strongest?

Thanks

From what I have read, yes. But they tend to be the noisiest too. Its a trade off.

Yeah I have also heard they are noisy many times now. Motive gears performance line seems to do pretty well and get good reviews on here. I believe the sponsor JAWS can get you those on here.

They are Very noisey. I say Richmond or Motive. The material they are made from is not as hard as stock or other gears allowing them to bend or stretch instead of break. Make sure your rear is set up correctly. You may have had good Yukon gears but a poor build
