Default half shafts

Well, my nick name for sometime was half shaft. Snapped the first one on GY Eagles at Run N Gun. PS: Three BDR's snapped halfshafts at Run N Gun that year. Second one snapped on the street during a spirited take off, minor bump in the road, tires hopped and SNAP. Getting pretty good a changing them out. Thought about upgrading however what's the next weakest link. May not be as easy to change or as cheap. Start to finish the first time having never done it before about 6 hours by myself. That's tires off the ground, tires back on the ground. Second time 3 hours. These cars are NOT drag race cars. Take it easy on the launch you'll be alright. I ran the Nitto 05's on my car for a short while. Liked them, stickier than the GY's but only last 3,000 miles. I get 6,000 out of the GY's and run Nitto 01's on the track. Good luck, hope this helps.
