spidertrax are just a housing for a ford 9" where standard or true high nine with provision for dana 60 hubs. The ford nine has a strong pinion as its supported at both ends
The big boys like the gm 12 bolt axles.
dana 70s and 80s are indestructible but weigh more than the truck, same with rockwells or kirkstall axles

yea but they will build a full axle ford 9 inch locker and 300m shafts for around 7K Each
you can buy crate axles for around £340 each but they weigh way to much

really???
I remember reading a thread on D44 and someone paid 12k all in for a spidertrax. And if your saying that its just a casing and not an axle itself, then that is ridiculous!
I knew there was lots of money in the challenge scene but i didnt know there was that much.

Lots of money lots of the guys were buying in crate motors £8K for large yank engine then £2K for the ecu and loom £12K each axle god knows how much for the autobox and suchlike they made a nice job of the frame but the core cost of crate parts alone was around £40-60K before they even thought about getting it together or put any man hours into working on it.
really quite funny you can get a cage from whitbread for £350-400 ish weld yourself this guy wanted 3500 for one that had i would say 4 extra sections to it and it wasnt my cup of tea the front windscreen was raked back too far and no front hoop 2 seperate sections going to the rear hoop and the front had a cross bar to make a hoop.

Spidertrax make the casing , true hi nine make the difs,dana 60 cvs etc so what I meant spidertrax brand is a casing to take good parts like a hybrid build though we all price a spidertrax as a built axle.
what makes them good is a nice strong case thats easy to weld links and hydro steer onto etc.
Back in my drag racing days Strange Engineering were always the boys. Modified Ford 9". Looks like they've got a version for off-road too.
Seriously good kit.
