This is fact straight form the horses mouth.
Tracey Jordan used the same set of 35 Spline Diffs and Axles in UROC and Calrocs and practice (amounts to more driving than anyone on this site could imagine) and he didn't break anything in 4 (four) years.
Now thats strength!
As for PIP breaking, anything would have broken where and what he was doing! (no dis respect to PIP and TIM, they are kick arse)
Bubs, i have nothing against what your doing i think its great, but Yes. Drive off it is!

Me thinks Tracy Jordan not breaking stuff could have a bit to do with driving style, Iv seen guys with suzuki driveline in a zook with large tyres drive hard stuff and never break a thing and then on the other hand Iv seen other guys with the same set up, busting stuff every 5 mins, just using this as an example

If you had any idea who Tracy Jordan is you would never have made this comment
There are very few people that can say they have beaten Tracy Jordan. And there are prob even fewer people that can say they beat on their junk harder than him.

Im not the stupid ass you think I am, and I know who tracy jordan is
I drive hard too, as probly do you, but I dont think Tracy would get his wheel in a tyre lock and just jump on the gas, I think he might use his head, This is why he is number 1.
And as you said POS in some situations you will bust anything.
Getting back on topic, all this useless information about Tracy jordans buggy and how hard he drives it still dosent prove that a D60 is any stronger than a H260
Oh, and having a buggy weighing a 1000kg with ballast might help with the not breaking me thinks.
And

does this buggy have d60's ?
It looks like a upside down nine inch centre to me. Do they use d60 outers?

If dana 60s are the pooh why are they using 9 inch centres? Better gear selection? or is it somthing to do with the reverse rotation?

Anything can be broken... Jody Evering tore his D60 axel TUBES not so long ago... his CTM shafts and joints held up, but he peeled his axel tubes open like and aluminium can.
He is running ALOT of lead in his tires though, which is tuff on components.
Anyway - neat project. Hope it turns out for ya.
