Broken Axle with Nittos

[kcc0521]

The axles are the only weak link,the trans and driveshaft have been proven.The clutch depends on how u drive.I think when u get ur axles u will be happy.I just dont get why some are lasting alot longer then others even with dr on them.Did the guy in the white gt show up with his drag radials?

He did not show up but there were a couple of other 2015s. I think it is the luck of the draw. As weird as it may be my did not seem to wheel hop if the drag radials spun. It seemed like they either dead hooked or it blew the tires off. There was no middle ground. It was my first time with drag radials and they are un predictable. I think i might get MT et streets.

Yea alot of guys say the mickys are a better hooking tire.

Crap dude I'm sorry to hear that! Let me know your future plans if I can help out with something.

Manual trans is in my blood so you know which one I would choose, but if drag racing is what makes you the most happy the auto is definitely the clear choice. Far less to worry about as far as durability goes.

I am a manual person too. I think I will just buy the doss 1400hp axles and see how it does. I have broken cars at the track before but it hurts more when the car has 3000 miles on it.

power shift?

Are you power shifting or just quickly lifting the gas?

 

[kcc0521]

Powershifting. I have new axles now so I will try again in a few weeks. I hope the clutch holds.

What axles did you go with and hp rate? Let us know how you make out.

I put the NT05R on my car. Be careful of the axles. It sucks to break at the track. I don't think my car was wheel hopping and it never hooked hard on the Nittos. Those are great numbers. I would love to get my car on the dyno. I am out of town the next couple of weeks but I can go to the track the weekend of September 25th.

Thanks man,i ran a 12.4 at mason dixon this weekend,still on the stock tires.Let me know when u go i will meet u there.I will put nittos i have on,but they are the nto5 not the nto5r so i will see how they do.Alot of guys say the nto5r,s need a good breakin before they will hook up good.By the next time u go they should be broke in.
