Half the battle is just keeping the 2G rear end in place so it doesn't get all dislodged causing it to explode. It's mounted pretty much on one side only with rubber mounts and moves a ton under load.

I've noticed that on 2g's that there's only 3 spots that hold it on?

Damn. But with tires like that, this kinda stuff happens :)

Thats why a lot of the big power 2G guys reinforce their rear diffs so they don't move and flex so much under extreme load. I think Marco from Magnus has a design for them, not sure though.

Yeah, he makes a CM rear frame for the pumpkin since he popped his out at the shootout years ago.

Looks like the mounts failed, not the gear set.

Marco's fix.
