if you break an axle the car just wont move. my buddy broke his at the track on street tires and hes just a n/a 2v with simple bolt ons. i got it on video. when it broke it just went POP!!!! and his car just quit movin. it was kinda funny actually cuz he was runnin his mouth and snapped it while burnin out. i think youll be fine though.

Best thing to do is just get a built rear! No neeed in risking something if you don't have to.

I launched at 5500 in my fox body 3-4 times nothing broke....just go try it and if it breaks there isn't anything that would hurt you...it will just damage the car....if you are scared don't do it...

it wont fall off, its not like the hub rips off the axle or anything like that

and it doesnt "snap" into 2 completely different peices...just sh|t inside breaks, the only thing you might see is a tiny crack in the axle itsself, does this answer your question?
