vicious781, No...never worried about the solid axle in the Mach1 that had 900runs in it before the spider gears lost it's teeth or now with the irs.

The stickier the tires, the less chances in getting wheel hop. Solid Axles get wheel hop on bad tires and that Concept applies with the IRS.

Now, folks do blow things up, but in honesty, it comes down to technic...IMHO. Yes, some have blown the half shafts & axles, even to the point that they are scared and will post in such fashion. I just say review the poster & see how many runs that they have made, just to weed out the here sayers.

M/T DR's still get hop...for some odd reason it is always my 1st runs. Maybe I just need to do a LONG LONG burnout on my 1st and lesser ones there after, since I wont be happy if they only last me 40 runs. That would be like 60 shy of what ET Street can get me.

Here are two of my best slips. Yellow one is the one I lost by breaking out .002!!! He was a newbie so I could of lifted a LOT sooner. Track was stuck and I can usually tell by my R/T's.
