Tested the front diff on the weekend tried my hardest to brake it but just couldn't.
I was climbing 4 foot ledges at full lock with no effect.

Bentzook,

Guess what 2 rigs broke there longfields on the same obstacle on the weekend and we didn't brake the uni taking the same line and in fact we had the3 front left jammed so hard we couldn't turn even with the hydro so I guess that means that they are stong enough for a ZOOK.

Heavy rigs are always gunna break something, like BJs yellow unit. Load up the drivetrain with 38"+ tyres on heavy rigs and insufficent gearing reduction and its only time before it snaps off.
Zooks are one of the best [lightest] platforms to start with, so naturally we can put oversize tyres, moderate gearing and still drive away happy and concoured, where bigger units fall over or snap .
When I saw your front end at Craft I told Richard what you wanted to do,and where I`d see it before. I`ve been dealing with them for the last 13 years with various zook units.
Now that its performing well , naturally you would be happy.
I told them what I wanted to do and we sourced the Stout diffs and figured under the weight of a zook they would be near unbreakable for what competition we are going to do. So I take their knowledge and combine with what I know and want to do and we`re all happy chappies.
:P :P

Sam just remember that these CVs had been given a hard time for a long time and only time will tell if yours are realy stronger.
But i was impressed with how they stood up you had them in some pretty bad situations that i thought for sure you would break them.
