why does mine fling axle grease out in a circle around it, with no rips in it? again, lifetime warranty, so no money out of pocket, but its a pain.

LOL I have one of those 1/8 scale nitro powered 2 stroke RC cars, I decided to get some CV joints for it, and the boots on those things lasted 20 minutes! lol. I feel your pain!
