Not sure why my axles have stopped breaking, but really wishing the driveshafts would stop.
It's an SP, with a 13.5. I run my diffs on the loose side. I drive slow and relatively easy on my vehicle
That's strange. Could it have to do with the way you have the slipper and diff adjusted? I race stock & mod sc, stadium truck, and buggy every week and have been doing so for quite a while. I have sc-r sps, an RT5, and an RB6. I do occasionally break an axle, the FFM lifetimes help a bit, but I've never broken a shaft.....worn out a few, but never twisted ot snapped one. Our track is fairly Kyosho partial and that is not a common problem.....I've never seen it happen. One of the locals is a fully sponsored Kyosho driver and I haven't even seen it happen to him and he practices every day pretty much.
