To those who think the MTX 75 is so fragile I have made at least 40 passes at the track leaving well above four thousand rpm using the stock clutch, stock CV's and drag radials and haven't broken anything yet. The most important thing is to replace the stock differential with the Quaife or Torsen.
That is the weak part!
People don't go breaking the input shaft, the axle shafts, etc all the time.
They break the diff; into little pieces; grindy, crunchy pieces.
I just saw Wednesday night what drag radials do to our diff. It didn't even survive the burnout. Poor Sam.
Also about the stock clutch. I can't get it to grab on street tires. It would be worthless with slicks!
I did sacrifice some dead stop launching ability by dropping around 80lbs off the nose of the car.
Well worth it for the added turn in ability and nimbler feeling!
People said it looked like I was RWD the front end lifted up so much.
