i doubt you'll break one in a seven TBH. I have seen them in racing hotrods (700Kg) with 230 bhp engines and a low gear ratio ( so high input
torque)
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

so 300bhp should be ok?

axle
its not power that breaks axles, its grip. if youve got 300bhp but no weight and low grip you wont break stuff that often, if you have got big tyres
and plenty of traction you'd better look to the atlas or 4ha

It's the half shaft that gets it on these axles...I had a an old Escort I used to rally in the 80's with an English with a x/flow with a
genuine 150bhp at the fly and broke several of them. As said though it's torque and grip that will do it. Funny thing is, I ran said Escort on
dry tarmac and wide slicks and didn't get a problem - the forest is where they broke
