Where to find gears
RickyBobby:
So if you buy gears from a wrecking yard, do you have to weld them?
thunder938:
Yes, or put a spool in then. THe junk yard gears should be a posi or an open gear ( one wheel spin ) For racing the gears need to be tied together with a spool or welded..
RickyBobby:
Now is that an INEX rule? Cause having the spiders turn freely would make the car turn better.
thunder938:
rule book states
"the rearend must be locked(all spider gears welded or steel spool..). No limited slip differentials, aftermarket differentials, quick change, floaters, homemade or otherwise are permitted.."
I think that about covers it,
Dave

RB,
If you are running circle track you want to have the rear end locked.
You can use stagger of the rear wheels to aide in cornering.
If you are running autocross........ I have heard that the open rear end or posi rear end may be helpful.
So far, I am still leaning towards the spooled rear end for my car.
