Broke axle last weekend, looking to upgrade but stay with stock spline count. What are my options? Thanks

I have tried Yukon and nitro axle. Neither lasted any longer than stock. 38 spline is the way to go.

How many people are running scs 30 spline? I just bought a grizzly locker and would hate to have to upgrade to 38

We ran a set of scs 30s for a year at about 900hp and sold them as they were still good, I have a few guys that pull fpp 2.5 class and no breaks this season....I'm by no means claiming they will last for ever....but what dose in this sport!

That's good to hear I didn't know any 30 spline setup was holding up. Where would one go about acquiring a set. I broke another stocker Saturday.

I'm running the 30 spline SCS and haven't had any problems yet....knock on wood

They will be for sale after the last pull on October 17, not sure what yet based on the rule change rumors but I will be upgrading.

Anybody ever think about having axles rifle drilled ... A hollow axle is considerably stronger than a solid axle as the strength comes from the surface area...
