    Indeed.. Matt used stock axels after snapping a few 300m axles and they actually held.

    What are the wheels? (sorry I didn't catch the wheel name and type).

    Thanks!

    No, no, no. Matt snapped the custom axles he had made by DSS. They were a rip off and actually weaker than stock. He then switched to the 300m axles via Ray, and no more problems.

    I know he used stockers in that time frame as well, but it was not the REAL 300m axles from Ray that he snapped, it was the shitty DSS rip offs that gave him trouble.

    When those tires go I'd suggest looking into the Nitto NT05r Drag Radial. They are pretty damn awesome, though their life sucks pretty hard.

    that case is going to be dominated if you actually use those tires to their potential.

    well, we will see. there are people on here that have done tons of passes on a stock TC. Atleast mines braced. And the 5spd is stronger than the 6speed TC no?
