Default Death to my 10 bolt with video
Broke my rearend at the track yesterday on the first pass.
I think i broke a tooth of the ring gear or the pinion.
the 4.10 lasted one other track outing and a summer of hard driving.
Havent pulled the cover yet so i dont know exactly what broke.
Looks like it might have wheel hopped or something.

I know! its only a matter of time with a 4.10.

So im looking for a new gear, is it true that the motive gear is stronger? or should i go back to the 3.42?

lol sucks to hear but.....your that guy at the track that obviously breaks something and decides to coast halfway down the track while everyone in the staging lanes is yelling "stop the damn car" lol. hope you get it sorted out and for future reference if something breaks pull over immediately your not doing the track or car any good to keep going.
