lilbuddy just broke a 27-spline longfield up at this years Sierra Trek. He has a longbed 1st gen with 37" tires and a Dual Marlin Crawler. I don't know what he was doing at the time, but I am willing to bet that he had his wheels turned nearly to their maximum angle.
Well I was on a downhill, wheels turned all the way to the right in reverse backing uphill and SNAP! Im runnin 37s with a front aussie and it broke. And no, I wasnt getting it either it was at like 1200rpm
