The ring and pinion diameter in these rears is so small in diameter, than a decent launch can strip all the teeth of the gears. I saw it happen at our local track with a new set of Richmond gears. I have seen people put a lot of money into these 10 bolts only to have them still break. Bob
I have seen plenty of D.R. 10 bolt doomage.
Question: If you rock your rear end side to side and hear something banging on the inside of the axle.. what the heck could it be?
