I'm sorry, but I think you are getting overly concerned about parts that in real world use virtually never fail. Even if it were to fail, my experience in breaking axles and CV's (high hp formula cars with slicks) is that it happens in first or second gear while accelerating hard in a straight line over bumps where the drivetrain gets unloaded and then loaded very quickly and something will snap. The normal result was that I coast to a stop and get out.

I think a bigger problem is trying to figure out how to get big power to the ground efficiently and safely. When this doesn't happen, THATS when problems occur.

just my $.02
