The secret is in the diff build and getting rid of the collapsible spacer as that's what destroys the crown-wheel and pinions once the preload backs off.

Cheers Matt


thanks matt, ill have a word with the company that built the diff up for me

It would be interesting to know what propshaft torque the diff is capable of. Short 1st gears used on lower power engines probably snap axles just as easy.
