the 6 speed axles = Carerra axles and CV's so there's really no problem there. Plenty of upgrade parts available if you need to.

The 6 speed I've personally used at 430whp in a race application and had no issues, but I had an oil cooler system, and NEVER did any clutch dumps with it. Spin the gears on the main shaft and you're done...

I also looked into it. Steve at Renegade Motors told me to budget $30k. $30k!!! I can build 3 cars for that much.

Nice way to never have to worry about the IMS issue
However, if you are planning to AX or race this beast, you'll be in a VERY hot class!

No splines. This is why I'm not a huge fan of the idea of V8 torque with these transaxles.
