Ask how to prevent axles from breaking lol
Drag racing can put a lot of stress on your Hellcat's axles, so it's important to take steps to prevent them from breaking. Here are a few things you can do:
1. Upgrade your axles: One of the most effective ways to prevent your axles from breaking is to upgrade them to stronger aftermarket axles designed for drag racing. Many companies offer upgraded axles made from materials like chromoly or billet steel that can handle the increased stress of drag racing.
2. Install a differential brace: A differential brace can help distribute the load on the axles more evenly, reducing the chance of them breaking. This is particularly important if you have a limited slip differential.
3. Use drag radials or slicks: Better traction means less stress on the axles, so using drag radials or slicks can help prevent them from breaking. Just be sure to match the tire size and type to your vehicle's power output and weight.
4. Upgrade your suspension: Upgrading your suspension can help reduce the amount of wheel hop your Hellcat experiences during hard launches. Wheel hop can put a lot of stress on the axles, so reducing it can help prevent them from breaking.
5. Be mindful of your launches: Finally, be mindful of your launches and avoid dumping the clutch or spinning the tires excessively. Smooth, controlled launches can help reduce the stress on your axles and increase their lifespan.
Remember, drag racing can be hard on your vehicle, so it's important to take steps to protect it. With these tips, you can help prevent your Hellcat's axles from breaking while enjoying the thrill of the drag strip.
