I wanted to show you guys something I've been working on.
I have no real input. It's an awesome idea and if the axles hold up, there is nothing to worry about.
A routine inspection of the axles and hubs using some form of crack detection would probably be plenty to insure adaquate safety.

Axle failure seems to always be the diff side and not so much the hubside. This has been the case since the DSM days though as well. I would think a set of DSS's would cure that however. I have used the good ole Lincoln 5 lb spool for years in alot of different applications, but a real spool has myriad advantages. With that small of a ring gear in the rear diff though, I am not sure how happy it will be in the long run.
Even though I'm not a "drag racer", warms my heart to see someone make hard parts from scratch for this platform! Good stuff! 
Since you're not a vendor Indy, you should get David or one of the other vendors to carry these. Judging from the response, I'd say there is a market for them.

from me!

I will be carrying these when the time comes to sell them. Indy was only posting pics of what he is working on with 9sec9. He did get prior approval for the thread Zeus so he wouldn't have any problems.
Good job with the pencil and napkins Indy... please share with me any other things you are working!!! That goes for ANYONE who has the gumption and the know how to get the job done. What I miss most about Aerospace manufacturing is the "making" of it all.
Zeus, I agree with you 100%. In the past the bannings have flown Indy's way though anytime he mentions something he's working on, so he got prior approval on this one. Thought I'd point it out before someone reported it and another moderator banned him again.
Looking forward to some 1.20 sixty foot times with this

Understood... there is a BIG difference between "look what I/we made" vs. "look what I/we offer". As long as it's the former, there should be no problem from any honorable Mod what so ever.
