Actually no, several have made well over 800rw just fine with it. It's just the violent torque they make instantly shocks the drivetrain pretty hard. Cruising in sixth and dropping it to 2nd or 3rd is pretty damn violent. I think Will made over 1000 with it and it never really "broke" just started slipping.
