Default Floater Axle Splines

Can I ask those of you currently using floater assemblies what spline axles you have? What spline would you like to see in a floater kit?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Wil.

Wouldn't 31 suffice for most people?

31 would cover most people but 35 covers 99%.

The roadster is 31 interior and 35 exterior, honestly in that (roadster) application 31spline is overkill........I like overkill.......

Thanks for the response guys. We had originally thought of going with the NASCAR standby 24 spline, which if you didn't know actually is 1-1/2" in diameter like the 35 spline, but we have decided to make the change to 35 spline.

I will post more information as it becomes available.

31 spline for me. Those wimpy 200tw tires should surrender first.

From Moser

"To achieve maximum performance you should use the smallest axle that will safely handle the torque your car produces

Each axle should be able to handle all of the maximum torque your car can produce. That way it is practically impossible to break an axle because you have at least 200% saftey factor
"

30 Splin- 6,200 ft.lbs. (per axle)
31 Splin- 7,000 ft.lbs. (per axle)
33 Splin- 8,200 ft.lbs. (per axle)
35 Splin- 9,600 ft.lbs. (per axle)
40 Splin- 12,000 ft.lbs. (per axle)

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

That's a good, general chart. 500lb ft x 2.97 x 3.89 = 5,776. So in theory 30 spline is enough to hold most cars.

Even Mayehm, with the way it is geared, is below the requirements for 35 spline.
