40 at the diffs and hubs...

Maybe 47 in the CV. But I believe you can get the "big bells" with a 40 spline inner star.

Mine are 40 spline all the way through.

Penner said it had 40 spline in it

I bet that adds significant meat to the inner star

Bj what hub setup are you running?? And does yours have the big bell??

The 14 bolt dropout, I believe.

My buggy has the Rockwell size cv shafts that are 40 spline all the way through. They are not a turned down 47 spline, RCV redesigned them to be built correctly when mine were ordered. The stub shaft is a 1 piece design unlike the D60 version where the double spline shaft comes out of the CV.

My hubs are a HD D60 hub that Wide Open Design modifies to accept larger bearings accommodating the 40 spline shafts. The spindles are a heat treated 4130 chromoly piece that uses standard Solid spindle nuts and drive slugs.

All of the parts can be purchased through Wide Open Design. I have not had a single part failure in this setup and they have not been treated nicely. I wouldn't change a thing if I did it all over again.

Thanks BJ!! If you were to build another u4 race rig, would you go this route or try and stay with lighter componets??

I have a U4 car I race. It's all Solid D60 parts. I'm not so sure I'm a fan of all the unspring weight for the shocks to control in high speed situations.
