Aarons axle issue and other breakage

[speeding-g60]

never seen it done like this before!!!



this is what i found.





















and this is the results.



my very first pass of this year, first launch, i snapped the rear driver outer cv splines in the hub AND the passenger inner rear cv splines into the diff. still ran 11.09 @ 147 with both rear axles broken and noises coming from the diff.











even stranger than this, how does one break this part? i have never heard of anyone breaking this. it snapped on a 3-4th gear shift, which i do before the 1/8th mile. i coasted for ~700 feet and still ran 10.40 @ 105

but, so far i have lots of breakage. i did run 9.41 @ 160.82 so far, and also ran 9.66 @ 151 with a wasted clutch spinning all of 4th gear!









and, i have been doing TOO MUCH of this lately





even had a fun run where on the 1-2 shift the car bounced so hard all 4 wheels came off the ground, but it dropped the parachute! i did not even know it, and still ran 12.84 @ 92.9 mph !!!!!

Looks just like a classic spiral leg fracture/break (typically skiing when the boot doesn't release from the binding during a fall), twisting motion, aka "torque", causes failure:

Bloody hell mate I guess you don't need a gym benching 01Es most days?

Time for some stronger joints & shafts?

I saw that the other day on FB ( I know, sorry ) and I thought f**k did he just bench an 01E into place I'm a wuss and used a jack, and that was hard enough

It is sh.t when it happens!
I have broken both rears early this year and now don't have balls to launch any more as don't have any more spares
It sucks!
