Default Race Axles

For your amusement -- two pictures of the axles Cartridge supplies to professional GT3 RSR/RS race teams. Among their features (other than the fact that no axle has failed):

· lightweight, high angularity (unlike, e.g., tripods that respond less favorably to extreme bump and droop) ten ceramic ball CV's for better power delivery;

· specialty high strength steel (with proprietary processing) components – everything other than the dust covers and the boots;

· aluminum dust covers;

· aerospace tear/crack resistant boots;

· enhanced inboard and outboard cooling;

· machined in integral speed sensors;

· matched specialty high strength steel lightweight fasteners;

· fully serviceable inboard and outboard -- both for examination and individual parts replacement;

· all parts available separately without the requirement of purchasing an entire car set; and

· filled with Krytox GPL 217.

So, if my 996 ever needs an axle, could I use these?

For regular street use, the standard Porsche axles are quite sufficient and more cost efficient.

Cool items.

Does Kryptox have anything to do with Kryptonite?
