Sudden rash of broken "HARDEND" shafts

[ujokin2]

Well I was at the track last nite and again and the result has been the same for the past 3 weeks. ANOTHER broken shaft by Big AL . I have been at track and witness to rash of broken shafts between my two comrades

Between Jason and AL... the count is 5... its getting scary. What is the difference between their cars and mine.... gears and LSD.

Well that was until yesterday...as now I have a quaife.

I dare say there are not but a handful of cars that have been out on the track and have as many hard launches as BIG AL, Jasons and mine in the past year.

What gives ? Well other than the shaft... ?

Nice to hear you finally got the Quaife...

I am now thinking (as I believe Cam has earlier stated)...
When you break an axle you MUST replace the Quaife.
Sad and very expensive.

When you say "Hardened" shafts are you talking about the new Mopar replacements shafts?

..

[RobAGD]

Yea you break the axle and the quaife gets all kinds of angery.

James - You leave like a girl thats why you havent broken anything yet

Actually the few launches I have of yours you do something weird when you leave, as soon as I get the damn encoder working again ill post up your vid.

Big Al being Inferal? So he broke the upgraded Mopar replacement half-shafts?

[RobAGD]

Big Al is an Al that is not on the forums.

It almost seems like a bad batch of steel lately. My early DSS's are still going strong on 1Fst4Dr's SRT8.

So, how does the Detroit True Trac fare when an axle breaks?

How has USCG Charger (Jason) done after the initial breakage @ ATCO?

[USCG Charger]

I broke the next time out but that was with the heat treated axles.. I'll be running the new upgraded axles at zmax.. I'm sure they will be fine.... Bill is also going to look at my true trac and make sure there are no issues with it either.

[MadCharger]

UJ, do you stall yours at launch? Does Big Al? We know Jason does the hammer launch, which is certainly tougher on the driveline.

they both stall theirs up and launch.

The Detroit truetrac immediately disengages.
That said, I will change Jasons out next week before zMAX and have his Truetrac magnafluzed.

Dan, I will upgrade you to 3oom at no cost, give me a 10 days or so.

I could use them before the Mopar Meet @ E'town on the 15th.

Can you get then to me by the Monday 05/11/09?

I think if I remove the front sway bar & lower the rear tire pressure, a 3000 RPM stall will get me 1.6s (on motor) in the 60'

It was wheel hopping when I tried the 3000 stall @ ATCO. I'm hoping softer tires & more weight transfer from removal of the front swaybar will hook it up.

In the past, my car always ran it's best times w/a max stall when I could get it hooked.
