From what I have heard the real gov bomb is the 10 bolt with the gov lock. The 14b gov lock seems to be pretty sturdy. Based on the design I would say the biggest problem is when there is wheelspin from a tire in open air and the locker engages throwing a lot of torsion stress on the axle with traction. Especially if you have a heavy right foot and a high torque motor.

This is true. It is not so much the Gov-lock, but the 10 bolt that is the problem. I have seen the same thing happen a couple of times. You are on the road (paved), and you pull away from a stop sign or light where you have to make a right turn. When you stomp it and turn at the same time, the inner tire gets really light, or lifts off the pavement completely. That tire then spins, and gets up some good speed which engages the locker. Since there is no way that the outer tire is going to spin at this point (as you are making a turn with a little throttle), the locker engages HARD, and it blows up the 10 bolt. My brother did it, and it broke one of the carrier bearing cap bolts. We pulled the cover before it grenaded, but if you drove very far, you would get a pile of broken parts when you pull the cover. All we got was half of a bearing cap bolt. The cap was just flopping around on one loose bolt.
