Honestly I'm surprised the half shafts aren't what went first. That's usually the weak link in IRS cars with significant powet.
Wrinkled the tires before the rear grenades, so gobs of torque applied before those housings let go. No way those rears were designed to have that much power transfer to the street that fast...aftermarket hopefully will find superior design, materials, or both to fix it.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Or forged here with Chinese materials. I thought Mopar used Dana rears. I thought they were virtually indestructible. Obviously not.
That's not case here, they're using some type of independent rear suspension rearend that's not suitable for extreme drag racing duty. If they were using a Dana 60 in those cars this thread wouldn't exist.
I have broken Dana 60 axleshafts with a 4 cylinder diesel And these were full floating dana 60s. The car versions were semi-floaters.
yes typically for a stock vehicle. But you realize there are independent rear suspension cars like the Corvettes Camaros and Mustangs running in the sevens and 6-second range with IRS.. GeForce half shafts and billet caps
Driveshafts are more of an issue with the Hellcats. More sticky tires make breakage more likely. My stock summer tires on mine spin like crazy. Less chance of breakage.
