my bro had a mini spool in his ROMAC diff with 28 spline axels and after about 6 months or so if snapped the axle completely and fu cked the diff and inner guard of the side the axle broke on. it had been tracked only once in that time so it hadnt copped too bad a thrashing although it was a daily driver so we werent surprised one bit wen it did break lol dont do it unless your prepared for the cost.... they will break!!!
