Re: Live vs. Dead axles

Dead axle's have always been easy as long as you have good wheels and sprockets. they work Beautifully. swampthing in 2005 had billet aluminum wheels with monster bearings and water cut sprockets. it was very ,fast reliable, never broke. and it is still running today. this year we went with lighter wheels and had nothing but problems. putting torque through 6 wheels using sprockets that are cantilevered off the wheel tend to want to tear themselves apart so they have to be pretty strong.
