Oh nooooo.. this exact same thing happened to my XD falcon with a 383 stroker clevo in it about 20 years ago.. it sheered all 4 bolts off at the diff and spat the tailshaft out into the road...
@@GapSauceRUclips No injuries and minimal damage to the car... I was only keeping that car for the running gear as the body had too much rust - I bought another very tidy XD Fairmont Ghia phase 5 replica and transferred the 383 stroker and Toploader from the tailshaft snapped XD into it.. I ended up bolting a bit of seatbelt underneath the tailshaft on the XD Ghia to catch it incase it happened again... It was a beast of a thing, won a few trophies in its day.. wish I never sold it
hahaha spewin.. i think everyone would agree on this, you need a video of just the car on warm idle some revs and street pulls. Also issue a towel on floor required warning lol
Hey, atleast the sound of the tailshaft breaking still sounds better than the engine note of the tesla 🤣
OOF
Hahaha, shots fired!
Those eyes.
I'll never forget those eyes. 😐
Hahaha, 80mins of that rx7 spewing fuel vapor in front of us got them nice and watery, the dust and grass helped too haha added to the effect nicely!
A GT in the garage (with a broken tailshaft) is worth two teslas in the bush.

Oh damn, hope you and the car were okay?!

Battery fire intensifies*
It was at that moment he knew....... I swear I didn't laugh until the editing 😂😂
hahahaha, I laughed making it too!
Man that sucks. Feel for ya. Didn’t you already change your tail shaft and diff?
Thanks TD, yeah this is just a RUclips "Short" vid.
Every time I hear it my heart and balls all feel the pain 😬😬😬😢😢😢
Hahahahahaha, moment of silence for the balls.
Oh shit, U can see his tears. Sorry to see that bro
Hahaha, our eyes had been watering the whole morning. There was a black rx7 spewing fuel vapour around the track. I've never seen a car run so rich 😅
Ouch bro very ouch 🤕
I know right!
Your def not alone mate, I've had 4 go, and 2 diffs, lol, all my fault. time for a stronger unit mate.
I'm sure I remember reading of your blown diffs on the forums 10years ago.
Dammed Tesla😤😤
Sneaking away quietly
That model s would have pissed off sooo many 😂
Yeah, it was quick on the initial hit but could tell it ran out of top end pretty quick.
@@GapSauceRUclips if it's the model s plaid they don't drop off at the top end like the old ones, the new ones run like 150mph on the 1/4
@@nk0723 Yeah, those are pretty wild! Not for me though, not yet anyway 🙂
No chance 😅
They're a 10 second car bone stock.
Easy work from a roll, thats not the big dog Tesla.
I shouldn’t but lol 😂.. Funny editing mate ..
Hahaha, don't worry I was in shock but I laughed soon after.
hahaha spewin.. i think everyone would agree on this, you need a video of just the car on warm idle some revs and street pulls. Also issue a towel on floor required warning lol
Hahaha yeah I think I can work on that 🙂
@@GapSauceRUclips fuck yeah lol
Was she repairable?
I've witnessed stuff like this a few times the tailshaft can deal some damage
Yeah, ill need to go back and fix the floor up when the car gets stripped for a respray.
@@GapSauceRUclips ah good to hear she is fixable I know alot of people wouldn't of been so lucky
@@GapSauceRUclips an now my falcon needs a new gearbox the good ole ZF went kaboom
@@ESISTTIGER ahh, damn. I've been there several times with the ZF unfortunately mate.
@@GapSauceRUclips yeah they get the power out but unfortunately don't seem to be able to handle even stock power if you push it
Ah Blake, that look of sheer disappointment! Laughed from your editing though
Hahaha, yeah I knew it meant I had to find a Tow home... again. Lucky Chop rescued me.
Why did you have to remind us of this nightmare!!?
hahaha, awareness!
I'm glad my comment on your insta didn't go unheard :P Bless
Hahaha, I really hope I dont!
Best editing 😂😂👌
