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!
I got one with your name on it...

sc4087I break a set about every 2 yrs. usually the pinion gear gives up a tooth or two.

David CoveyI 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.
