Re: Paragon March 25
Ive broken my gears sets and lockers too. That shit sux. Was he runnin the longfields 30spline with the chromoly shafts? If he broke that thats insane. Them are soppose to be as strong as D60 axles. Was he backing up and turning when he broke them? Cause thats when the birfields are at there weekest. My dad just got his 30spline and chromo shafts from long for his cruiser.

Re: Paragon March 25
Here's what he said on another board:
I do :lol: From talking with Bobby today no one has managed to break 2 at the same time. He thinks the LF broke sent a serious shock through the axle into the other one since the locker never broke. Then when we heard that really loud crack the ring gear let loose cause the birfs was bound up.
He taking care of my junk no probs. I'm getting another gear set, my hubs cyroed and new birfs 8) . Just gota pay for gears and 10 bucks for cyro treating my hubs. He did say I will be getting NEW 30splines. As in thicker in the spot mine broke because they have had 4 failures so far besides mine, all on KMCdaniels rig(test rig). All others that had problems was balls broke or material problems in the beginning.
I talked to Boby for at least a half hour about what I do with my rig and what kinda conditions. Shipping my old longs back tomorrow for him to go over and see if I broke a good set or a set that had a defect.

Re: Paragon March 25
Thats fawkin crazy. Ive only broke 2 birfields. One was a longfield, one of his original ones, and then the spare that i replaced it with all in the same day. But untill i start breaking more of the standerd 27spline longfields i dont see the need for the 30spline yet. I even have a higher crawling ratio then he does and havnt broke one in a while. There had to of been a defect in the ones he got. Thats nutz though

Re: Paragon March 25
Yeah a lot of the trails are going to be a little tight, but I saw a bunch of fullsizes out there running some of the other trails.
