can anyone tell me why i keep breaking my half shafts (rear) i spend alot of time on two wheels, could that be the problem?
when this last one broke i was in mid jump and it just ripped out and i saw it fly off the truck
will steel ones fix this or will i chew them up too ?? what brand is recomended ??

oh and rpm a-arms are strong but not indestructable, i need a new set now. i broke one on a one wheel landing has anyone had any dealings with the rpm people for replacements ??

thanks

your driveshafts are breaking cause your slipper is likely a little too tight......steel drivehsafts work well.
RPM will replace whatever you can break of theirs just have to send it in to them.

From the factory the slipper clutch is set for minimal slippage, just
enough to protect the drivetrain from shock loads. On slippery, low
traction surfaces such as a hard-packed, dry racetrack you may benefit
from loosening the slipper adjustment nut to allow for more clutch
slippage. This will make the truck easier and more forgiving to drive by
helping to reduce the amount of wheel spin. Loosening the slipper
adjustment can also improve performance on extreme high traction
surfaces by preventing the front end from lifting off of the ground when
accelerating. Make slipper adjustments in small 1/8 turn increments.
The maximum tight setting for the slipper is just at the point where
there is little or no tire slippage on a high traction surface such as
concrete or a prepared racetrack. The slipper should not be tightened to
the point that clutch slippage is completely eliminated. Do not
overtighten the slipper nut or you could damage the slipper bearings,
pressure plates, or other components.
