RIP diff, you will be missed. Based on the fluid Im either guessing the axle broke or the diff shattered the seal. Place your bets below on what it is. Ill post a teardown around 3PM today. Under the car doing an autopsy as I type this. Also, am I fast now?

Yes, exhibited symptoms of crunchyness when making left or right, when making a right into my garage it went boom... Gonna look for the ring footage now.

seems to me trying to get ZF parts or tech data is about as difficult as getting a Demon 170 :mad:

No wheel hop, in the newest videos you can see just good solid launches.

I'm doing the internet searches, I'm still searching I'll let you know if anything is found.

The carnage and some races:

The car was absolutely dialed in for 9.5 index racing and I was hoping to make a killing season opener at the MSHS in the Roc. @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC and I have been working our assess off to get the car to be consistent. Him doing the magic on the tune side and me doing the mechanical aspect.

Seems the axle is in there good, the splines are twisted. It is Sunday, I don't want to work on the car so it will sit. Just sitting here myself before my morning coffee and thinking about how disappointed I am in the GForce axles. These are supposed to be the Billy Badass of axles but yet they can't even hold up for my car. It also has me borderline depressed cause I already took all my vacation this year and spent it on MSHS events, planned hotel booking and travel, made sure I had a dog sitter, etc.. and here I am looking at another 2-3k for a diff and replacement axles.

And it couldn't have happened at a worse time as I just dropped a sizeable chunk of money on the car, to the tune of ~20k for something very big that I don't want to reveal yet but will be discussed soon. Just all around shitty end to the weekend. But hey that's racing. Do me a favor, like, share subscribe. Need that Youtube money before I start an OF for the cougars/snow leopards that need a strapping young pool boy... 😂

Sorry you are having these issues. @jonx96 and I found it is next to impossible to pull the outlaw axles out by dropping the rear. The stock axles and renegades will come out that way but not the outlaws, there isn't enough give in them. We ended up damaging both boots and broke something inside of one Jon found out when he sent them back in for boot replacement

They must be using some soft alloy now since you and @Hatermkr both twisted the axles splines

Well this makes more sense now…
Nope. I have any part you need
If Gforce doesn’t pull through I may be buying your axles and diff to make the rock… 🥲

They will not stand behind them. David S and my self got almost the identical letter, saying the same thing about both set an alarm at full charge is us almost the identical letter, saying the same thing about both sets of our axles charges 980 some dollars to fix them
