VDSY Member 37 Member For: 4y 2d Posted 10/05/21 09:53 PM Author Share Posted 10/05/21 09:53 PM how much hurt would semis cause to the tailshaft / diff with normal driving and no launches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But grippy tyres put more stress on driveline. Nothing really grips in colder weather. Need those hot summer nights where the tarmac glues semi-slicks down.

TRYME Member 313 Member For: 3y 8m 27d Posted 11/05/21 08:11 PM Share Posted 11/05/21 08:11 PM Real grippy tyres and a stock driveline where for example your going between 60-90kph and you go hard throttle and it snaps back a couple of gears and suddenly your flying forward----- that type of driving on a stock driveline with a proper 400rwkw and your going to wear stuff out...... but as previously mentioned it's the launches where tailshafts twist up like a coke can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard this theory and for no other reason than it might be true, I've subscribed to it and don't let my rig kick down ever. I also don't let it hit the driveline hard on decel from accel if I can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
