Tru Trac or Wavetrac

I am at this point now.

I'd go wave trac just because it has a great warranty.

So does the Quaife LSD and I think it's actually a little cheaper. Never realized til last night they are available for a Ford 9.

I went with the 33-spline Tru Trac. WaveTrac's have got their own issues also. Do your research and you'll see. Hasn't BlueBalz been through 2 of them already? Doesn't really matter what you buy, plan on replacing it eventually if you're racing. Nothing streetable is going to hold up long-term with the forces these cars are now placing on them with the big HP numbers and wide+sticky tires.

I have broke one WaveTrac... Sent it back never got an answer on why.. I moved on.. Ran Tru Trac... Still lighting up my inside tire.. OS Giken.. did work either...

I finally found one that work for Blu Balz! But if I tell you guys ... you will never believe me... I chased the probelm for months...

I ordered a 31 spline true trac since that is what was recommended to me. Cant remember what brand it was. Came in a blue plastic box. Currie maybe?

Cris,

I don't suppose it would be related to the following post from May of last year on Blu Balz, would it? I was looking for some followup info at the time, anything you care to share?

The one thing that we have not been able to keep from losing in the car was ring & pinions.. Discussed this with Kyle @ DSE & this is what we came up with as a solution… Heat has been our enemy.. but @ the time upgrade to something that is more for racing purposes…

C&R Racing has introduced current NASCAR Ford 9” technology for the Pro-Touring and Track Day customers. Starting with an investment cast nodular housing that is almost 8 pounds lighter than a standard case. Ring & Pinions are ISF® Process (Isotropic Superfinish Process) by REM Chemicals for reductions in friction, heat build up , power loss, noise and increases longevity. C&R also utilizes our in house 9” Dyno which measures heat, hot & cold rolling torque , final backlash and is checked for noise. It also allows us to ship 9” already broken-in so it is ready to run when you receive it.

^^ That C&R piece is top of the line but very very spendy. You could get 3 or 4 True Tracs for the price of one of those, but I guess if ya keep breaking True Tracs, etc....

So does the Quaife. And I agree with Chris's research below as well. That thing has its own issues too.

That's one thing I like about the Quaife (and it's a couple hundred cheaper than the Wave Trac) is if it does break, there are great reports of their warranty.

I keep seeing reports of more people liking it for autocross vs the the road course. I guess I'll never know until I try it.

Right now I gotta say I am leaning toward tryin the Quaife.

Thats right, I remember hearing this but never asked you what the failure was....Cris, what did you find when you pulled the drop out? Burnt/low fluid or normal fluid and metal?
thanks

My wife works for Porsche and I know how much a pain it can be with parts from across the pond.

S track and Tru track are pretty much the same design no?
