U joint help

I need some super strong u joints I got the brute force 4800 ones in my front drive shaft now and I laye on the throttle in 3rd gear and my front tires broke loose and I broke the u joint.

What can I get that's stronger??

Right now it had the u bolt looking straps can I change them to something stronger?

I need something kinda fast mud races are next saturday

Greaseless u-joints are the best for strength.

I'd be happy if your u-joint broke.

If just the front tires broke loose, it coulda been your t-case cracking in half.

well in my opinion the u join needs to break, better than twisting an axle shaft in two
