Don't know if this really applies where people have exploded CV's off road but......
A couple of things I used to do to race car CV's when new to help in the reliability and efficiency stakes where, after machining the centre of the OD down to buggery to save weight was to relieve the cages where the balls sat, and polish and relieve the race ways in the outer.
Lobro CV's were ridiculously tight from the factory, sometimes to the point of not being able to plunge properly during suspension cycling, making a car hop across the track. Bloody disconcerting for the driver.
After machining the outer I would always grab the die grinder and relieve the cage so the balls would fall through easily, then use a flapper wheel in the die grinder to relieve and polish the tracks on the star and outer.
It made a huge difference to the reliability (no more broken cages) and running temperature of the CV's.
