axle/gear question I'm picking up a set of moser hardened axles for a 10 bolt with the studs already on and a complete set of motive 4.10 gears. What kind of power can i throw at this before it breaks?? i wont be going anything higher than 450hp anytime soon. I've been told it will hold that all day long, but just wanted some opinions from the "professionals" on here!
My Motives held up, but I shredded the spider gears in the posi on the 1-2 shift at the track this past nov. It had been taking a beating as a bolt-on car all summer, but didnt take long after heads/cam to

If its not one thing it's another...the axles might last but you'll bust a carrier...
There is no "magic number" that you throw at a 10 bolt and it breaks...Some break on stock hp and some are fine til 600. It's the luck of the draw.

okay so I think i have pretty much decided that waiting for a 12 bolt is the way to go. I picked up these parts for $200 and i know the axles alone are more than that. how much could i sell this stuff for roughly? i might just do that instead of putting it in my car.
