A top fuel dragster that makes 10,000 HP vs buggy that makes 1500 (I'm being EXTREMELY generous here).

I'd say the contact patch makes a difference. Traction is traction

A drag car still isn't pushing that kinda weight and the rotating mass on the axle is a huge difference ! I've watched a 200hp crawler with 54" Baja claws destroy stock rockwell shafts like tooth picks one and two shafts at a time. I'm not an engineer but the simple weight difference and rotating mass with large amounts of power are my guess. Pair that with almn housing etc and all kinds of **** are going wrong

Is there a way he could go with a bigger ring gear?

Curious if the carrier bearing cap bolts are stretched ?

I also think the violet start/stop impact of landing is something drag cars don't experience

Re: Stand back beotches

One good bouncer hill will beat an axle up like a couple seasons of drag racing...or worse.

I haven't seen a drag car go from full traction load to free spin 15 times in an 1/8th mile

My comment was directed more towards the strength of the fabricated housing vs cast center section. I agree 100% about shock load in wheeling being quite hard on parts.

I guess I'm questioning the fabricated housing because he wasn't stripping gears in his previous ProRock setups nor are any of the other racers busting gears consistently with standard 14 bolt and dana 80 chunks. So it seems there's either a problem with the gears or gear material or there's a structural issue/weakness with the housing leading to the breakage.
