Wow! Page 3 and the “I been runnng the stock drum 4ever and if you do everything right it won’t fail” crowd hasn’t chimed in!

Having been around two of these failures over the years (both started with broken 8.75 gear), you REALLY don’t want this to happen. One occurrence was full tilt catastrophic with peices stuck in the door panels and wiped out all the gauges + dents in the roof (he limped away luckily). This was in the early 90’s and we had NO clue that this could even occur. Our stuff got the good drum in the 727, and we put blankets on both of our cars.... even the 904.

....and speaking of 904, much smaller mass and they don’t explode. Not saying it’s not impossible, but to date I’ve never heard of one that has.
