Rear end snaped!
My rear end snaped right in one of the arms. I had my buddy welded back with a strong thick weld. Do you guys think it will hold? Or am I wasting my time? I really don't want to buy a new one.

I was launching the car and the rear just snaped, I'm pretty sure he welded it good as he does it for a living. I guess I'll have to just try it and cross fingers?I would just hate to be left out on the side of the road

it focuses the stress at a single point on the surface instead of distributing it along a longer length naturally.
same deal for cutting glass... you score a line to create a stress concentration and it breaks easily at the line. it is weaker at that point than even a thinner piece of glass.
