For over 25 years, Dynatrac has been the industry leader in high performance axle and drivetrain assemblies for off-road. From its legendary ProRock axle assemblies to high-quality replacement and upgrade components, Dynatrac is committed to delivering the best performance, reliability and quality drivetrain products possible.
The exclusive Dynatrac ProRock housings have the best ground clearance of any available housing. Dynatrac has also added significant cast-in features to provide much more rigid housings. The company also spent a considerable amount of time developing its Dual-Sump/High-Volume™ high-pinion lubrication system to allow the use of the Dynatrac high-pinion ProRock axle housings in high-speed, driven rear-axle applications. The pinion bearings in these housings are always oil bathed, from when you first take off to speeds exceeding 100 mph.  This keeps them cool and allows them to survive in high mileage, high-speed driving.
Dynatrac™ is continuing its support for King of The Hammers by announcing a generous new contingency program exclusively for 2014 KOH competitors. This includes special discounts on axles, including our latest ProRock® 80 Full float, 40-spline axle shafts and other hardcore drivetrain components that KOH competitors count on for strength and performance.
