A few reasons the SpiderTrax seem to be the preferred axle in ULTRA4
Drop out center chunk. Imagine breaking a R/P and having to set that up out there. In theory you can just drop your "spare" in out there.
Serviceability too, a lot of guys run BEEFY unit hub bearings too.
Also a lot of ULTRA4 teams use a trophy truck 10" R/P. These don't come cheap, at over $4000 for the chunk but let you run 40+ spline axles too.
In regards to axle housing out there. I have seen all the major players break/bend out there. ULTRA4 is tough on parts, real tough.
Also, as mentioned, sponsorship too.
My next "dream build" is an LJ on Spidertrax's. A man can dream can't he?
