Spools
Spools are specialized components used in high-performance racing and drag applications to lock the rear differential, ensuring both rear wheels spin at the same rate. Unlike a traditional differential, which allows the wheels to turn at different speeds while cornering, a spool eliminates any differentiation between the two rear wheels. This setup provides maximum traction and stability, especially in straight-line racing, where both rear wheels need to rotate at the same speed to optimize acceleration. Spools are commonly employed in drag racing and other racing disciplines where straight-line performance is paramount.

Selecting the correct Spool depends on various factors, including the type of racing, the vehicle's power output, and the specific requirements of the rear end setup. Consider the intended application and the rules and regulations governing the racing class. Determine the size and spline count of the axle shafts to ensure compatibility with the spool. Additionally, evaluate the material and construction of the spool, as they can affect durability, weight, and overall performance. Whether you're building a dedicated drag car or upgrading your existing rear end setup, choosing the right spool is essential for achieving optimal traction and performance.
