mini spools?
i'm on a pretty serious budget, just wonderin if a mini spool will get me buy. i know it completely locks the rear end, which is both good and bad, but i wanted to make sure it accept C-clip axles.
if you're really against mini spools please let me know.
thanks,

I woudln't go with a mini spool, it puts all the pressure on the diff pin... my buddy snapped his 1st launched at the track. The mini spool itself was fine but the pin sheered right in half.

I have one in a 10 bolt that I took out....It was taken to the track a few times with no issues.....to give you an idea the car ran 7.50 1/8 mile.....I upgraded to 9" since, but rear still in good working order.....It is for sale, or I could remove the mini spool if interested
