those where not the 30 splines, i think they where the old treated birfs

I've watched the 30 spliners take alot more abuse that that.. I'm convinced it was a defective one.

I was beating on it pretty hard . I would say that it would have broken a lot sooner if it was defective.

I was beating on it pretty hard.

I'm sure thats an understatement!

 

[treerootCO]

I am running 30splines now and they are working great.

Thats interesting, (when I wheel) I beat my junk pretty hard, and havent had a single problem with mine. I would realy like to know the circumstances in which it broke. I am running duals, lockrite, spool, and 39.5's on WIDE beadlocks. Were you trying a hopping/high-speed manuver when it poped? How are your stearing stops set up?

heres my rig for comparo

I'll be up at the spot where it broke in the next few weeks so I'll take my camera and snap a few shots of the obstacles on the last section where it broke . I can't remember hearing an actual bang or pop .It was actually a spectator that told me It wasn't spinning .
