They use chrome moly for the inners and outers, so they are supposed to haev some spring and ductility to them, but if the heat treat is not right, even CM can get brittle... working on it, will post up when I know more

Please keep us updated on what DSS has to say. This is going to be our next adventure I'm afraid......trying to find more durable axles.
I'm not sure if this is true or not.....I mean, once an axle breaks, you go no where......so technically the power IS NOT going to the other axle.

26's, and yes tire shake on teh set taht went a couple passes... no tire shake on the last one that popped
Pretty sure 4340, and they said bad heat treat the last PS one I cracked and I'm wondering if these were from teh same LOT
Yeah, will work with DSS to figure this out for sure.
Hmmm... but it was moving forward a bit when it popped, so...
Kinda I'd be willing to do a group buy after we get this figured out and if there is enough interest

I don't think I've ever broke the middle of a shaft. Usually I break the shaft inside the trans, the inner CV, and now the outer cv. Oh....hang on....I take that back....I think I have broke the middle shaft on one of the CV ends before or a few times.

Their typical warranty is 1 year.. the set that had over 200 runs on was ~200 including shipping to get two new inner joints installed, but those are 7years old. The next one to break the pass side one (which was also 7 years old, but w/o as many runs on it) they took care of. Will see what we end up doing with these two now. I REALLY want to just figure it out so we got an alternative that works
Yeah, track was sticky, tuff on axles... Whats that center bar made of?

While I agree the track was sticky, I do not believe that is why we were breaking axles. I was having uncontrollable wheel hop in left lane that I believe was caused by rough track conditions and layers of rubber. I never have wheel hop on a non-sticky track (spin) and usually never on a sticky track either. I think it was a combo of the track set to "hook" and a combo of a TON of cars putting down rubber and not enough time to clean up the layers due to too many oil downs to clean up.
Center bar and CV's are all stock Dynasty, except narrowed to fit in OMNI.
