This year marks Spidertrax’s 25th anniversary, and as the saying goes, time does fly when you’re having fun. It’s not every day we run into something completely new, so we couldn’t help but share this latest challenge. This performance axle/transmission shaft has a 0.236″ blind gun-drilled hole that’s nearly 16.000″ deep, holding better than 0.0015″ of drift per inch. Cross-drilled holes throughout finish the connection, shaft runout kept under 0.010″ end-to-end, thru-hardened in vacuum… in summary, it puts a smile on our face so that must be good. With that, back to work we go. Make it a great week!
As our line of axle shafts continues to grow, it continues to push the limits of off-road racing. Introducing our latest “Trophy Truck” inspired axle shaft, the 36 Splined Gun Drilled Full Float Axle. Turned from billet 300M aerospace alloy, every shaft is vacuum quenched, deep freezed, and double tempered. With a 2″ effective shaft diameter and a massive 1-3/8″ end-to-end thru-hole, it’s also one of the strongest and lightest axle shafts we have ever made. Head over to the store to learn more.
Did you know we manufacture 7/8” gun drilled full float axle shafts? An effective way of reducing rotating weight (.13 lbs/in), boasting a superior strength to weight ratio over its non-gun drilled counterpart. Available in 40 spline full float rear shafts and IFS 33 spline mid-shafts.
We are proud to release our Ultimate Axle Shafts for GM 1-Ton Axles (a.k.a. Dana 60 style axles running kingpin knuckles). We’ve designed these shafts with one goal in mind: to get you on the podium. Packaged in our unique webbed design is an axle shaft that is capable of 50 degrees of steering, which is now the industry’s tightest steering angle in-class. Available in both 4340 and 300M materials, Ultimate Axle Shafts can work for a range of budgets as well. Head over to our GM 1-Ton Ultimate Axle Shaft product page to learn more.
Spidertrax 300M aircraft quality axle shafts from left to right: 40 splined gun drilled, 35 spline, and 26 spline. Crazy to think 26 spline was a “hard core” Samurai upgrade 15 or so years or ago. Things sure have changed, just a bit anyways. Have a great weekend everyone!
