Picked up a quickchange. Its missing the Spool and Ring Gear, It has steel axles tubes on it. How can I determine what length axles it was designed for. Can you run steel tubes with birdcages on a dirt late. Anybody sell just a ring gear if I already have the pinon looks like someone just took the spool and gear out as a whole. Its a winters 6 rib rear.

Finding a spool shouldn't be hard.
Finding a ring gear will be difficult. Ring and pinion gears are manufactured and sold as matching sets.

Yeah I think I'm just going to buy a new R&P. I'm pretty sure this was in an asphalt car. Can i Used Steel Axle tubes with the birdcages? How do I determine what length axles these tubes were for so I can sell them if they aren't right? Or sell it to another asphalt racer as a whole unit from what I gather most of the LMSC use standard stuff unlike us.

Does it work as well? Seems like the surface has a little more friction the the aluminum. I might be better off just selling the steel tubes. Thanks for your reply!

You will save a lot of weight, but the steel tubes work just fine with B/C's...get bearing cages though...Makes life simpler..imo
What kind of car do you have and im sure someone on this site can help you find the correct rear end for your car.

Rocket. I know the axle lengths and thus the tubes I need to change it to. It has the tubes for 34/35 now its Im' told off an asphalt late. I got it for 250 I might have been dupped but it has new sidebells gears all that. Just looks like someone took spool and ring gear out. I think being its been sat up I can do it up with all the nice bearings and all that. Its a 10" winters.
