Well just got off the phone with Thomas at Castle. He said that its more pressure when throttling off the ground then when on. Although he did say this does not always cause a broken shaft it can happen. He knew EXACTLY where it broke before I said. He said on line #5 in what not do in the instructions, never to give full throttle in mid air do to extreme tire ballooning...I said that I was not at full throttle and that I had read that as not to do as could cause injury due to tire ballooning. He said the said this stated to protect themselves against tire failure and shaft breaking. He said no big deal, just send it in and we will get another one out to me after they get some more in as they are out right at the moment. I told them I really had nothing coming as I was out of warranty already when they fixed it last time...he said they would probably still just replace due to failure under warranty. Wow. They are just a fantastic company IMO. We laughed at my unfortunate happening and never getting to even run it. I followed by telling him how awesome they are and that I would never do it again.

I did tell him that it was in a CRT .5 when I began the story. He did not even mention that being the problem, but I am positive that the load of the beefy
4wd did its part and I therefore will never run one of these in it again. I will keep the new motor in the T4.
