As light as your rig is, I don't see you having a problem with the stock 60. I ran the stock one for a while on my full size and beat it hard. It stayed together.

He's running stickies though, stickies have a bad habit of snapping factory splined outers, no matter the weight of a rig. Especially if he welds the front.

Not welding it, putting a spool in since the carrier is diffrent from 4;10s to 4;88s.So looks like 35 spline outters and good joints for the front ,and I picked up that 70 rear yesterday for $100 and it has factory 4;88s

u b ok wit 35 spline outers in 60, they will take a beating especially lite weight and low hp! alot of the "cheaper" Smith motorsports buggies are running spicer joints and spicer 35 spline outers with healthy sbc's and hold up well
