Blue car (crashed) 4.70s and 80s... had at least 300 plus

Yellow car had at least 250 or more...4.40s and 50s

Red car has roughly 275 and is 4.60s and 70s

Just curious…is the car that was crashed repairable?

No sir chassis is twisted/kinked/bent in many places...

Barry that's alot of runs!

44 spline Strange , replacing spools too... 3 years on wheelie bars, they broke (cracked)too.

I break a set about every 2 yrs. usually the pinion gear gives up a tooth or two.

I would suggest checking the backlash to determine wear.
Excessive backlash will indicate ring and pinion wear, also allow additional forces between the two during launch, and allow the gear noises y'all are talking about.
Years ago Richmond guy's told be to always run a GL6 or better lube to help prevent the shock loads.
That said I have no idea how many runs you could get, different power levels and cars.
