Any tips break an axle using launch control?

Any high power tips break an axle using launch control? the tiptronic axle is much fatter and shorter than the 6-speed, but I hear its not the main part that actually cracks, its the connections.

Thanks!

I don't think the tips had launch control. Launch control came out when they replaced the tiptronic with the pdk.

you are right..i think the change from 996 to 997.1 was a sport mode....

Any high power 997 break any axle (tip or PDK)?

Our P800 cranked up on race fuel broke them... of course it was running pretty sticky tires, I think our R750 VTG car smoked the stock trans and broke an axle or two when they started running a bunch more boost on race slicks... Something has to give, tires, or drivetrain...

Thanks Neil...any idea what part of the axles broke? I am trying to determine if I want to upgrade them now or just wait.

Thanks
