how do your shafts break?

[MattK]

finally got around to swappin my busted ass axle shafts today. both of em were cooked. i know when 1 of em happened, but im not quite sure when the other went. my stepdad mentioned 1 may have caused the other(lockright).

anyways, the stub that broke shattered. several pieces, kinda messy. then i look at the inner that broke on the other side and it is a super clean break. looks like it was done on the band saw or somethin.

just curious what yall's experiences have been.

regardless, this is #3 and #4 that the lockright has claimed

Time to upgrade shafts or get a D60...

Rock hoppin is when that usually happends. upgrade or ease up on the throttle.

just replacing these for the time being. plannin on a 60 at the moment. just tryin to be patient enough to find a good deal somewhere...

I broke my shaft doing a brake stand on dry pavement.

My 305 is like the little engine that could...




Actually probably the lock rite and the 35s really did it in.

I went 60/14 combo before I broke anything. I have been told I am throttle happy
