for multi-million multi-national organizations such as Bigfoot Inc do you really think "hard to find" means anything?
Do you really think any component from a JD combine is a direct bolt in on a monster truck? Do you really think Bob Chandler has hired some pimple faced little highschool dork to run to the local Napa to pick up a set of wheel bearings? Everything is custom and team specific for a vast majority of the parts.
Ive heard of F106s uses quite a bit in pulling trucks so its no doubt they are strong.
You did think outside the box with the loader axles...its just the wrong direction.
BTW...
just because a company is called "Monster Truck Parts" doesnt mean its what all the professional teams use in their comp trucks. I also believe any axle up to snuff for a professional monster truck would be out of the price range for someone to buy over the internet or build in their garage. So far all Ive seen is Sampson using F106s.

keep looking more than just sampson use f106s iam telling ya i never said every monster truck uses them i said they are used in monster trucks and you wanted to say what was it oh yeah here it first off, youre dead *****ing wrong. Monster trucks DO NOT use F106s. Thats a GD school bus axle. They use custom hybrid ZFs/Mittlers using ZF shafts and something like 16.5:1 total gearing.
i told you they do

I can tell you from 1st hand, driven the truck, know the owner fairly well, have some of his old part currently on my ranger, that the Equalizer monster truck has the ZF axles. He's not at high dollar as Bob C's outfit or even Dennis Anderson (which I know as well and race with his son!), but he's running a Patrick chassis. Oh, and Dennis ran a Patrick chassis with the ZF's as well. Make sure you get your info straight before you talk crap, Jr..

ote the drive shaft entering the Corvette rearend far above axle centerline illustrating an advantage provided by a 'Right Angle Drive' system.
As true racing Monster trucks were developed builders searched for a lighter alternative and the solution was found in a most unlikely place. Underneath big yellow school buses!
Most common school buses are equipped with 'Rockwell F106' rearends which are substantially lighter than 5 tons or Planetary axle assemblies and are available with a wide variety of gear ratios. Although they incorporate a conventional pinion arrangement the third member is plenty strong enough to handle high horsepower when combined with suitable planetary hubs and custom hardened axle shafts. And by this time racing Monster Trucks utilized lower engine placement and drop box transfer cases which reduced driveline angles anyhow.

i dont get y every one is freaking out here i think loader axles would be a good idea.. yes.. they mount solid to the frame.. but just add your own suspension and go, its gonna have some great gears and be virtually indestructible in this case of mudding with the size tires he wants to run, think of how much torque a loader puts to those axles and the weight they carry daily
