[Fot] GT6 rear axles

[Chuck Gee]

I would recommend picking up Kas' last book with my GT6 build.  It includes a chapter on axles and does a nice job of describing the different options.

Changing to swing axles has proven to be a viable option because of the weight savings.  I know some of the UK guys have done it with success.  Not sure if there is any good data comparing swing vs independent, but you can get swing axles to work very well.

>>   I  finally put the front end back together went for a spin and blew up a rear halfshaft U joint (inner).  So now it's time to improve the rear axles... I would love to hear what GT6 rs  are doing to improve the rear axles. I have heard CV joints are the hot item but just not sure what parts are being used or where to find them. I have considered TR 4A-6 rear axles also. Any suggestions??
