[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 1864869, member: 26846"] Rhino case and weddle parts for a brand new transmission can’t even be purchased for $1800. Axles and axle tubes alone are over $1000. This isn’t even including labor. The price on swingaxle parts is high, especially for the “best of the best” parts. I personally don’t think opening up swingaxle will decrease maintenance requirements or cost, just make them more expensive to gain a little bit of performance advantage with the same rebuild requirements. Disc brakes would be nice but you hardly use brakes in a 9 car so I don’t see them as a necessity. Aluminum rims would certainly decrease the unsprung weight and they are not much more expensive. Maybe new weight limit rules. The single seaters seem to have an advantage right now. Power steering is s game changer and would probably draw in more racers to the class [/QUOTE]
