Reid you know damn well Marc could fuck up a wet dream....you don't see the other canam teams shooting front diff out on the course
Yep, Marc is about as abusive to his equipment as one can be. Although he would never admit along the way that it was his driving style that was sidelining the car more than anything else, it took him the better part of a year to quit driving the effen wheels off of the car, and focus more on finishing (how someone could drive the wheels off of a car that could barely wheel along at 65 mph is beyond me!). At any rate, the case in point here is this:
You would think that proper engineering and design protocols would have the cv joints playing the role of the weakest link in a lengthy chain of components that could fail. Perhaps they were, until the OEM cv's were substituted with RCV's solid alternative, consequently passing catastrophic loading onto and into the differential housings
Be it coincidental or ironic, shortly after posting my concerns on kornfed running stock diffs on their build, someone passed along to me Marc's Instagram post. Now I'm not familiar at all with the construction techniques used on Marc's current cars, but when designing and building the original Monstermav, I gave great consideration to the likelihood that Marc would be carrying over aggressive driving habits from his truck days. Hard in, and even harder out of the corners. In doing so, I picked up 2 additional mounting points at the top of each differential to help share the torque loads the diff housings would undoubtedly see every time Marc stood on the brakes coming into a corner, then mashed on the gas while exiting out.
You know kornfed and the boys gotta be rethinking exactly how they will introduce the stock diffs into their platform. If there are only two things you know about me Jim (besides my liking my beer), is that I enjoy sharing, and always back my smack with jack!
Fuck, another manifesto from badass mav. I'm going to BED!!
