what exactly is a mini spool and are they able to be used on the roads or would it make things go bad and break

 

mini spool repleces the spider gears and locks the rear. far as i know only avaiable in 26 spline. not for pavement from what i was told, only dirt tracks.

 

i found one to fit a 28 spline 7.5 inch 10 bolt and its only like 40 dollars from richmond i was just wondering if that is useable

 

A mini spool will work, but it is not the strongest setup out there. If/when it gets side loaded with a set of slicks under power it can break. Under 400 hp it should be fine. Add some nitrous and a trans brake and you are on borrowed time. Just be aware that driving any car on the street with a spool is a challenge, and you cannot street drive with a spool in the rain.

 

what makes it a challange and if i dont have 400 horsepower is it street driveable someone told me that they stress and break really fast on the street

 

i would think that with any hp driving with a mini spool on the street would not be a good thing. When you go around turns the tires turn at a different rate with the rear end that you have now. With the mini spool the tires have to turn at the same rate all of the time. This puts a lot of stress on the rear. Also driving with a mini spool in the rain would never be a good idea it would make it seem like you were driving on ice.

 

I have the next best thing to a mini spool and it is VERY difficult to drive in snow. It's not so bad in the rain because it does have some differential action.

It's a PowerTrax locking differential. When ANY torque is applied from the driveshaft, it locks.

On dry pavement, I have to basically coast through turns otherwise the inside tire sounds like a bird stuck under my car.

I would not recommend a mini spool at all for the street. It can easily cause one of your axles to break, then bye bye back wheel. If there was some way to use C-clip eliminators on our cars I still wouldn't recommend using one. They're not for pavement at all.

 

how is that powertrax differential in the rain i am just looking into getting a posi put in my car and checking out all of the options thats why i asked about the mini spool if any one has a recomendation for a setup let me know
