Not any more than hard launches. :3gears:

I guess I should have looked into the diff befor saying that, :headache: . If you have a 4bolt 1g rear end as far as I know you dont have to worry about it. But I have heard the 2g rear axels are more prone to breaking, but not as bad as the 3bolt 1g.

i've broken axles and center diffs.
axles are 1 million times faster and cheaper to fix, plus the better 60's are well worth it :).
do it once, do it right, or don't do it at all.

I run a welded center diff. Or as the off road guys like to call them 'Lincoln Locked' center diff. It will spin the inside rear tire on tight corners. If you start into a corner to tight and off the gas it will throw your head into the dash cause it stops you so quick. You also will need twice as many guys to push it around the garage.

When you weld the center, don't weld the VC. You want to weld the gears inside the diff. You can get a sleave to hold the two little balls that are held in place by the VC to reduce rotational weight in the tranny. There is more surface area on the gears than on the VC.

I have only broken the main driveshalf launching. But you can remove it and drive home with a welded center. :thumbsup:
