moser/ TA help

Installed my 12 bolt and used the stock TA. Well I go to launch the car at the track and it breaks the drive shaft (aluminum) and rips the bolts out of the torque arm. Now I've read of these doing this but can't seem to find any help or threads on it. Anyone has an idea how to fix this or re-inforce it? thanks.

I have tapped the holes further down and I also use red loctite when installing them.

Thanks! It's ripping the bolt hole out of the back of the tq arm. Just wondering if there was any re-inforcing I could do. It's not backing out or anything just flat out ripping it off.

Pretty hard. This is the 2nd tq arm in two days it has done this. Many of my other friends who are going way faster have no problems.

Get a UMI torque arm and you wont have to worry about it the stock ones or junk just like the stock rear ends.

the torque arm lets go first then the u-joints can't handle the stress of the driveline angles then boom. Go buy a quality tubular one and you won't have this issue.
