Bloody typical, these cars dont seem to like massive amounts of torque through the transmission. :(

Think the Transfer box is fubar'd.

Maybe next time!??!

Yours is a 6 isn't it, like Ross' silver Evo? He's had the same issue with shearing the end of the transfer box in the prop numerous times during launches, hence the major modifications he's now having done.

Gutted for you that it broke when it did as in the practices you looked as though you were going well. I'll get some photos up later when I've sorted them out.

Today at Snetterton turned out to be a really good day as not only was there the sprint on the 100 there was also some really good racing on the 200.
Here's a few photos and a link to photobucket

Nice to see a few of the old sprint lads there (Mike Shearing, Roger Grimes, Jason etc)

Sorry not to be there; it looked like fun.

I'm not sure what the results were. I know Logan wasn't very happy that the black Caterfield??? or what ever it is was running in the same class. He didn't really stand much of a chance against it with it weigh about half as much as the Evo, being a V8 and also running full slicks.

Did you lose all drive then?

When Ross has broken them its usually just the rear output that snaps, leaving it FWD only.
