there is durable, then idiot proof, then Bob proof

i have never seen an axel case just snap

sure do love this 35t motor though!

i did that just prior to the touch on my 1st corse at our comp on Sat.

i woulda finished with a -4, but alas SNAP!

Mr Devil

,I must say wow, as I'm in awe of your capability of such carnage.

Seriously, how did you manage that?

BEELZEBOB · 09-01-2009, 10:52 AM

rear locked, driver tire sunk down in a hole, that passenger side up on a rock tryin to dig out....

35t, 8cell full throttle

sheedy126 · 09-01-2009, 10:52 AM

never seen that happen before.

looks like your in need of some alum axle housings

BigB_117 · 09-01-2009, 10:53 AM

I've seen that a couple times. It was probably already cracked for a while.

Weirdest one I saw was a rear housing snap right in the middle.

I am suprized you have never seen that, thats why most of quit using Axials along time ago-reliability.

this pre-crack hypothesis is a sound premis IMHO

Yeah, I've seen several trucks that slowly developed a crack on the bottom of the housing right where the aluminum C's mount. Good thing to check for once in a while. At least a new housing is cheap

I remember a comp 2 years ago I was doing a front dig and both fronts came off just like that.

helhedded · 09-01-2009, 11:48 AM

There is only so much that these axles can take. I think most of us break our trucks when we see what kind of a bind a berg just drove itself out of, and then we try to go do the same thing with our axials.

My ax10 axles are wobbly and probably need replacing. I think I replaced them back in march.

gunnar · 09-01-2009, 12:03 PM

Good damge there, I've twisted a few off myself. I will have a fix for this problem, but it will be a month or so before it's ready. Picture a cromoly tube inside the axle, running from the diff bearing to the outer axle bearing, the "c" would bolt up to the tube. Pretty simple actually.

helhedded · 09-01-2009, 12:35 PM

EITHER WAY, breaking stuff on your truck is fun. In a sick twisted kinda way.

as long as it doesn't get too expensive. Luckily ax10 axles and their parts are cheap and widely available

axman2010 · 09-01-2009, 12:56 PM

I did that a few times after I went to 3 cell lol, sucks but it's kinda funny

cato · 09-01-2009, 01:01 PM

Happened to me when a CVD pin backed out:?

3 cell, 45t with high speed gears and so far so good

maybe I'm lucky.

Tanis · 09-01-2009, 01:07 PM

I've only ever done that once, on a rear housing, after running Axial's for almost 2 years now, and that was after a few repeated falls off 10-15' ledges landing right on the rear corner. I did pick up a front RC4WD aluminum housing for the front, just for peace of mind after that happened, hasn't happened again, and I drive my car just as hard as any Berg I've seen.....and I've crawled with Austin before and after comps

which if any of you have seen him beat on his truck post comp........:-P

I wouldn't dare put my shafty through that torment

BEELZEBOB · 09-01-2009, 01:33 PM

i will do what cannot be done, nothing thus far in life is Bob proof.
