Those bent bits of steel were these

Really? If a 17.5 can do that, what will a 13.5 do? What will a lower turn motor do?

AGNO

Yes, are those, and the engine was an old Novak SSpro 17.5

WOW ! What did you hit and how many times did you hit it ?

46mm DCJs would be great.

If that damage occurred simply due to engine torque, then yes, those out drives are completely useless.

Wonderful.

I have about 20 runs on mine with the 44mm DCJ with zero issues and barely any wear. I have ran both 17.5, and 17.5 boosted on a tight mid-west 4"x4" & PVC good bite carpet track.... And I have definitely had some scary hits!

In fact, here is last weeks main, my car is the purple/pink/green...

I do not think depends on the torque, I think depends on the brakes, I used FR +1 ° and with this configuration the head of shaft works very on the edge of out drive, when braking, the suspension is compressed and the head of shaft escapes and breaks the out drive...

I'm not a super driver, but I drive pretty well, I have not given us great shots

However, for me the best solution would be to DCJ 46mm

Sorry for my bad English

Put about 3mm of spacers on the shock shaft on the OUTSIDE of the shock. This will limit the amount of compression and keep the dog bones and blades from pulling out while still allowing the car to roll.

46mm DCJs are still the correct answer to this problem.

AGNO

Up stop in the shock of could be a good idea...
The only trouble-free use of DCJ, I've had with the differential Spec-R also excellent used as a spool with the appropriate conversion.

Ah! I can definitely see how that could be a problem with the +1 blocks.

I was getting ready to try the + blocks this coming weekend, thanks for the information!

At one point they mentioned 46mm DCJs. I wonder if they are still coming?

Does the TCX come with steel front spool outdrives? or POM plastic as the website says.

Mine came with steel.

It's a typo. They come with Steel outdrives that are pretty solid. The broken set just shown is the first I've seen of the new ones. I've been running the extended POM outdrives and noticed they seem much more durable than they previously were in the shorter versions (not sure why).

I do remember a few years ago at the ROAR paved nationals I had a problem running DCJ's, wider blocks and lots of sweep on the cyclone TC. I broke a set of the steel outdrives and made everyone go OOOOOO and AHHHHH at my part shattering capabilities . I ended up taking the DCJ's out and running normal universals and the issue never came up again. At this time we didn't have the extended outdrives though.

Hb multidiff is a direct fit to 44mm DCJ. No modding. Works perferct. I've been running this setup since I got the car.

AGNO

Yes, that's right,the new out drives POM are much more durable, but the problem with DCJ is identical to steel out drive, are too short.
The new out drive POM are great for use with the original CVD 46 mm very durable and chattering very little, does not exist.
