CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - 12-bolt axle selection?

One thing I might add...and this is my opinion...the difference in weight between the
33 and 35 is probably not too much....and by the time you "work" the 35...you're
near (or at) the 33 ????

There is the strength factor...by having the larger diameter...and 2 extra splines...
but I don't think it's that much more than the smaller shaft....

Do I sense that a lot of racers are using the "street/strip"...or "hy-torque" material
axles...instead of the "race" type....especially in lower hp or stock classes?

Certainly less expensive...wonder if they'd be ok here?
