Somewhat sending it cause curse words hurt their feels! Live updates on the carnage.

They will not stand behind them. David S and my self got almost the identical letter, saying the same thing about both set an alarm at full charge is us almost the identical letter, saying the same thing about both sets of our axles charges 980 some dollars to fix them

If they send me the same letter, I smell a class action or suit against them.

Why even consider using them now? Probably cheap Chyna shit?

I’m thinking that as well now…

They are sitting in a box

I may need these as well just to get me to the event.

I almost wonder if some material has changed over the years

Yeah we talked about this. I just don't get it, you have tons of passes on yours.

Should be called, G you’re fucked Force axles.

If they’re not going to stand behind their products I have to believe they’ll die a slow death.

I was going to order a set but this changes things, their warranty is the middle finger!!

Mine got sent in 2 times first time I just sent stubs cost me 600 second time was stubs and the center shaft cost me 985. Always blamed something or said I Don’t Know why but he charged me

Does their warranty wording back that up? Now a days, dont be fooled by the "limited" warranty.

If there is any doubt, there's no doubt.

Your HC looks like it launches well.
Did you feel anything happen?

Is there any reason you are not running DSS axles?

Like most the lifetime warranty you’re told of when you buy them. Turns out it’s a taillight warranty

curious which axles are in your shop cat? any opinion on either brand.

 

[DGatzby]

Question, have you guys busted some of the Demon/Redeye axles also?

From what I have seen they are a really strong axle but not as strong against wheel hop. @jgilj cuts low 1.3 60fts on them

I really don't expect a lifetime warranty on any race application part. I just want parts that I know I can depend on to last a reasonable amount of time for the intended application. We have had excellent results with the DDS axles in applications with these cars going 1.2x in the 60'

[RGPIII]

Demon axles definitely are very strong, but one good wheel hop and they are toast. like stated above the new level 5 DSS axles are the way to go. Lee at DSS is awesome to deal with. I had one start leaking grease 3 months after i installed them, full warranty on new boots and clamps for both just out of precaution.

I want mine to out last a weekend.

Did not feel anything till the top end. Had some wheel shake. Ive been leaving off idle.

They were not available from HHP when I thought I broke my demon ones from a day at MIR.

I’d love a 1.2 60’ so far only 1.4 this season.

Something to consider. Breaking stuff… breaks stuff. Some take the approach that they will upgrade when necessary. Meaning when it breaks. A perfect case in point…. The Magnum at our shop is still running a IRS. It has a Ford 8.8 in it that has held on. We were wondering how long it would last and plans to go to 4-link with the Strange 9” like mine were discussed. It was hanging in there running 8.3’s and on top of the world. The long, expensive trip to Houston was made to wring some more out of it. And…. it let go on the first hit with that track prep. They found a replacement ring and pinion at a local Ford dealer and spent the night getting it done. Next day they were back in business…. Until they weren’t 🫤. When the rear end let go… it hurt the trans. That was discovered when the $12k T400 let go in the burnout. The point being…. It might be smart to bite the bullet for the expensive parts up front. Sometimes saving money… doesn’t

One of the shop Hellcats made a mess of the starting line in Vegas last month. This one has the full AAD with diff brace and lockouts. Also broke the driveshaft at the front. Have to wonder how the trans liked that. I think this would be a argument for that billet rear or a 9” conversion.

I have to respectfully disagree. I bought GForce Outlaw Axles. These are supposed to be the billy badass of axles. I have 15 passes on them and then poof. At 2200 a pair these are not cheap. So what you're saying is that for my street car I should get a TH400 and full solid rear axle… to run 9.5 class.

Make it make sense?
