me neither.

I don't think anyone (in the US, anyway) is making enough power to snap the stock axles. When we start seeing built motors under high boost, you might start seeing issues like this. I'll be curious to see how the tranny and driveshaft hold up as well.

A guy down here broke one and it was the center bar or shaft. It was probably the extreme as he drag races every week for points, and uses slicks.
