Driveline stress mapping

Power is not the only stress. Torque spikes, wheel hop, and traction determine what fails.

Stress source

Wheel hop

Repeated shock loads can destroy axles, diffs, and subframes faster than steady power.

What to focus on

bushings, alignment, tire, suspension setup, and driveline angles.

Stress source

Clutch shock

Aggressive engagement turns torque into instantaneous impact loads.

What to focus on

clutch choice for use-case, drivetrain slack, and traction management.

Stress source

Traction

Hooking at 500 whp can be harder on parts than spinning at 700.

What to focus on

diff/axle strategy, driveshaft joints, subframe reinforcement planning.

Use with

Transmission matrix

Choose a gearbox for torque and shock loads, not peak HP.
