For Hardcore offroad use you have to setup with the least amount of backlash possible without binding Ring and pinion. This helps keep em from breaking under shock load conditions.

I have a better picture somewhere of my pinion where it shows all of the stress cracks where all of the teeth are ready to break off, the less contact the gears have "less backlash " the lest contact point the ring and pinion have...but you have to be careful not to cross the line and go too deep and cause binding.No need for a Winch...You just have to make it !!

That's the first time I've heard somebody say to set the gears up tighter than spec for off-road use. Not saying it's wrong or right and understand the theory about the shock loading, but also concerned it could cause other issues. I've always set mine up to factory specs but have also always kept it street legal and therefore need to be able to run down the road at reasonable speed (majority of trails I have ran over the years required some street driving to, or between, trails).....my road speed is only limited by the unbalanced and trail scarred 40" TSL's.

I second the "set them up tight" mantra. Drag racers also set them up tight for the same reasons. I ran the gears on my built stock axles set up slightly tighter than spec, setup by a professional who drag raced. They are still around about 7 years (on and off-road use) after initial setup on someone elses rig. And you guys know that I beat the hell out of that set of axles.

Originally posted by WaffleCome on out anyway. What do you have to lose? Many people are saying this is going to be the best time that weekend. Many people! Trust me, nobody will break. Nobody! And nobody knows this better than me, honestly. I went to the ACME school of fabrication so I have a very good brain. It's going to be the best time ever I promise you that. It's true. It's going to be Yuge! Rush guys are amazing I'm telling you. I could stand in the middle of the trail and nobody would run me over. Amazing. And I'm calling for a total and complete shutdown of all dirt bikes and sand rails from entering Rush. They're not bringing their best. They're bringing litter. They're bringing noise pollution. They're sneaking in from side trails and not paying their entrance fees and some, I assume, are ok. It's time to get tough, big league! Rush is your mud and rock leader and only Rush can fix it. We're bringing mud back. We're bringing rocks back. More importantly, we're bringing fun back.
Make offroad great again!
