I wanted to know if you could tell me what size axle do you guys have in the rear stock? I wanted to know and I can't find it. Just wanted to know how all yall run slicks and don't break nothing.

Thanks

 

anyone???????????????????????

 

Don't break nothing, LOL. yeah right!

Look here, I'm gonna let you in on a little Lightning super secret. If you repeat this to anyone, we will hunt you down.
Lightnings never officially break when racing. I don't recall a single post on this board over the last year where someone admitted to breaking their Lightning while racing. Well, there was that one aluminum driveshaft I just remembered.



Ok, really, the L rearend is pretty damn strong. It is a 9.75-in. ring gear with limited-slip differential. The transmission will most likely break first.

 

Thanks for the help. But do you know the spline of the axles?

 

I don't think that there is enough traction in these things to break that 9.75" rear. It is, however, possible to break driveshafts. Ther have been several posts concerning that.

 

rj96stang, I realize now that I didn't answer your question. I thought you were asking the size of the ring gear. I don't know the axle size, what I posted already is the only info I could find.

I have not heard of anyone breaking an axle or the ring gear and there are plenty of guys running slicks as you already know.
