Default I average one race per rearend... lol (pics)

Two rearends ago we put a mini spool in, last time was a ring and pinion, this time I snapped an axle. It ate the carrier a little bit, and apparently, 7 1/2" mini spools dont hold up. You can see the side gears are mushroomed over.

Anybody got a 12bolt they want to sell me? Im ready. We're going to patch it so that the car is driveable. We'll buy a 12bolt or 9 Inch, even if its just housing and axles, or broken.

I remember thoses days back in high shcool, expect it was in my 200hp IROC LOL.
I broke one almost exactly like that, I snapped the axle right behind the splines and the axle slid about a foot out of the car! That was scary it sound like a gun shot and the car died, open the door and there was the tire.

294HP with sticky tires on a full weight car. Something's got to give! Try some weight reduction if you do decide to stick with the 10 bolt, it may last a little longer.

LOL he only weighs 110 lbs to begin with. It is also a formula so it doesnt have leather, power seats, etc. BUT i do agree it would benefit from some weight reduction.
