who has there 30 locked?

i went all out on mine for 35s. d30, alloy shafts, riddler cover, cryo'd 4:56s, detroit locker, tnt truss. now just waiting on ballistic to finish their inner c braces so i can get them on.
 
I use aussie's F&R on my XJ and aside from breaking a couple shafts (they were used when I got them and I was running red obstacles with them so) but I haven't had any issues with them on 35's since I got the alloys. I do blacks every time I go to Rausch and ran my XJ in the RCROCS interclub comp last month with zero breakage and that was no walk in the park.

I wouldn't run a stock D30 carrier on 35s ever again, granted I enjoy the WIN pedal.

This was with stock shafts, x760s, and full circle snap rings.

What gear ratio was that? 4.88 it looks like, kinda hard to read.
 
I've seen that happen with another 30 with 4.88's, the pinion head just gets so small at the ratio that it has very contact area with the ring gear and can do that if your too crazy on the gas. I drew the line at 4.56 on mine.
 
I use the ruffstuffs cover on both F&R. I think it helps stiffen it up some but you can only expect so much from the 30, I'm pushing it way past what it was designed to do from the factory. That's why I'm easy on the throttle, I hope that's never a picture of my diff.

I also like my aussie im running it with 31s for now and its great, hardly noticable on the street and great offroad , The turning is a little tight though offroad but im happy with it.

Running 33" Swampahs with a LockRite and it's invisible except when I'm on the trails. Like yesterday. But I'm not big on throttling out, I almost never have wheel spin

april-october, had no issues with little to no throttle. but once you get into the mucky rock I will agree with you, the go pedal can be your friend at times.


the most throttle I had to use wheeling was actually in december, green trails like d suddenly become alot harder when theres 4 inches of ice on top the mud...

thats the diff between rc and new england, down there shit is ran all the time, most of the rocka are clean and have lots of traction, up here shit isnt overrun, most of it is goverd in moss or has mud on the bottom very rarley can you crawl stuff
 
Rob... I love your spelling :)

With that said, I had my 30 locked for a long time on 35's and I broke a few things but I always was prepared for the big bang. and I don't enjoy the win pedal much.

I think a new england run may be in order this summer before college, you guys have some different wheeling for sure.
