keeping the slicks spinning a little also helps on the axles. The only axle ive ever broke was a gator axle the advance and orielys work fine lmao. i broke it on drag radials by not preloading because i just new i was going to blew the radials off since i left at the same rpms i do on slicks. for some reason (good track prep im sure) they actually hooked that day first pass destroyed axle.
