The new BIG studs are in, and I will be installing the axles tonight, in fact, right now. My other choice is to not launch at 4300 RPM anymore. I'm afraid that's not an option though.
Thos' 5/8" studs are a little spendy ey'. M/W were 'bout 100 bux. Cheaper than being rudely introduced to the barrier wall tho HUH. Little harder to get the wheel off N' on.
