Hi all,
Hoping we have some folks on here that are clued up on their materials.
I'm running a race car that has 200 BHP and large slick tyres, at the last race we broke a diff output shaft on the start line, no fatigue signs on it just an instant failure. I don't know the history of them but we're fairly sure they're made of EN24T.
I've taken it to a guy who can make me the new ones but he's not 100% sure which material I should go for, he's suggesting EN30B or EN36 which he would harden to 53-55 rockwell. The EN30B is going to cost about £120 more in just the material cost, on something that's already costing just over £500 it's a fair chunk.
Ideally I want a pair that won't break again.
Any suggestions please?
