Broke the front driver side cvc shaft today in SAND I don't know what the deal is but I'm beginning to lose faith in the brand or am I ridding it to hard, idk anymore.
Does anyone have a used one they would like to sell?

I have 29's and do some crawling and have yet to break an axle. Haven't even torn a boot while my friends on their Wolverines have gone through about 4 boots between them this year.

A good rule to live by is-Never spin the front tires or apply full power to the front CV joints with the wheels fully turned...especially with the diff locked...unless you want to break a CV joint. If you have to, never in diff-loc and limit the turn to less then half way.

Pro tip. Guess I learned the hard way. I was locked in and all the way turned and yep she broke.

yup, that will do it! Doesn't really matter what brand you ride. Full on and tight angles will destroy CV's. Even seen it happen to RZRs , Jeeps,Trucks, etc. Rather destroy an axle than the diff.

I have destroyed the diff before to last month.

I see RZRs snap axles like glass all the time spinning up a hill front tires come off the ground come down and hit the ground and CRUNCH gone. I think theres a video of "the boat ramp" climb almost every singe machine that went up it snapped an axle in the front lol

There are several vids of that carnage..  axles and diff snapping as fast as a kid can it candy lol

Another reason I like having a 4WD switch.  RZRs are very hard on axles, how it locks into 4WD. When you have a ton of HP and the 4WD engages on the fly.....never a good mix.

The boat ramp :-)

[Etchluke90]

Yeah that's my style.

Yup i broke 3 axles on my trucks, dont let your wheels get too much air when you are on your throttle and never turn your steering too much if front is locked

I ride through sand, mud, and climb some serious trails. Ive been very surprised how well the diffs have held up on these units. I did strip the spider gears in front diff and just broke a rear axle last weekend. I was in a soggy sandy creek when my front end went. In my defense, I noticed clearance issues in the spider gear factory setup, but I'm sure it was operator abuse.. Lol. The rear axle broke climbing some logs off trail on a night ride. I hit it a little to hard! Most of the time I engage 4wheel drive but I hardly ever like to engage the lock on them (suicide button)..
