Val something on my car Exploded

I was racing at the track today when my drive axle exploded. It was only my second time down the track and then poofff. There was hydrolic oil all over the place. Other then that the car is mint.

Ah this sucks.

The axle looks rather thin, when taking into account there is a 260hp engine to put power through it. I know when the torque's too much the wheels will spin freek, but still.

Your right on Samson that's what happened. I checked online and the stock ones can only take the stock hp, not the 260 that the stage 2 gives you.

First ... your avi is something ... OUTSTANDING!

And I agree to Samson. You will need of a forged axle. Your car parts were done to a max level power. If you exceed this power, you lose the garantee. But I don't think you will have any difficulties to find a new one and cheap.
Another thing Eric ...

seems you are a little happy in the pic after your axle broke.

We where just joking around a bit after it broke. We made good of a bad situation.

**Val** · 04-29-2008, 02:24 PM

Oh yeah ... of course. I would do the same thing!
But I think you need to tow your car, because without the drive axis, your car doesn't ride!

AHHH Eric ... another thing:
you must shave your face, man!

That's too bad Eric.

Sorry to hear

edawg99 · 04-30-2008, 10:41 AM

Well it's all fixed now so everything is good. I don't shave my facial hair Val, I look funny when I don't have it.
