[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1581013, member: 25186"] I'm going to add a few thoughts, flame me if y'all like, but here goes... 1. If you try hard enough, anything will break. Raptors are not indestructible, nor is any other vehicle anywhere close to a Raptor's pricepoint. Doing donuts at the waterline on the beach is NOT what the truck was designed for. 2. 4wd donuts are a bad idea. If you want to do 4wd donuts, go see if travis pastrana or ken block are willing to sell a gymkhana car to you. 3. If the driver was in 4A, it is especially the driver's fault, not a design failure. The truck is going to apply more power to the wheels with more grip. You can CLEARLY see that the rear wheels were throwing out more sand/water. Apply all that power to the front wheels, with the wheels turned, and snizzap! Furthermore, if ALL of the traction control and stability control functions were not turned off, not only is the truck shifting power to the tires with more grip, it is also applying brake to the wheels that are slipping, thereby increasing the potential for a momentary bind int he drivetrain which = snizzap! 4. That is EXACTLY the component that you WANT to fail in that scenario. It is, by far, the easiest breakage to trail fix. it is the LEAST expensive part of the entire driveline to replace. ( and arguably the least time-intensive repair to perform out of all the possibilities. lastly, you would never catch me doing shit like that. you're literally BEGGING for a component failure. The driver is EXTREMELY lucky that he or she got out of that idiocy with such an easy fix. The best modification that you can make in this hobby is the "driver mod". Knowing what the truck is capable of, when to push it, when to pull back, and when to not let your ego get the best of you is what makes a good driver. [/QUOTE]
