i figured it would be best to start another thread instead of crowding up the other one.

Anyways, man, i could almost smell it.   In term of strictly burnout status, then yes that was quite impressive.  However, if this is an open rear, and it certainly appears that it is, this is NOT a good idea.  Puts alot of stress on the differential/spider gears.

Also, what about the brakes?

I don't think that guy cares about his spider gears too much.

     It appears only 1 tire was spinning, and yea, toasted tire and more than likely spider gears.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
