generally you have people easy on the axles by being soft on the clutch (me)
or rough on the axles.

one way or the other, either the clutch dies or the axle depending on the driver.

not necessarily...... with the rotated tranny mounts, wheel hop (the killer of axles) is eliminated. so on street tires, you can do burn outs & launches without any wheel hop, the tires will just spin. now if you run drag radials.... i would suggest upgrading the axles because with no wheel hop those axles get all the strain as soon as the DRs grab..... and that strain could snap the stock axles like twigs, depending on your power level.
