Would you please provide us some details? Did it break right off the line or during a shift? What rpm were you launching at? Were you on stock rubber, DRs or slicks?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I was on the line, 3K rpm, DR's, and a prepped track == 0movement when the clutch was released.

Broke where the shaft necks down to go into the CV joint.

Yikes that sucks! Closest track to me is over 2 hours away, I would hate to pay that towing fee. You mentioned something about Intense having new beefier axles, I tried looking on their site but could not find them. How are they? Any idea when they will be available to the general public?
