Default Rear Diff Beef up

I have an ap1.. and im really worried about launching the car at the track and screwing something up... What exactly do you buy to reinforce the rear differential? Do you buy an entire new one? Aftermarket? Anything else you should upgrade? Clutch? I beleive i have wide enough tires pzero 255..

Can anyone help me on this.. sorry if this has been discussed already

you should post in the mod section.

At the track just make sure you spin your tires.....If you stall, you will put the load on your diff.

But yea like others said you have to buy a reinforced diff. there isnt any magic fluid that you can put in that will reinforce it.

I sprinkle fairy dust on mine every 2 weeks. Only problem is that it doesn't work.

If you spin you are fine, its the sudden shock that screws you over.
if you are unsure how stick your tires and the track is I would rev to 6k and side step it. If you go to the track and try to grab and go then you might as well order another diff.
