But it is like in any vehicle there is always a risk of snapping axles if ur launching this isn't jus for the mps 6

Nah, stress on the drive train at launch is much greater in an AWD. In a 2wd car there is wheel spin that acts like a circuit breaker to relieve the shock on drive train components. But in a stock 6MPS there usually isn't enough power to overcome the grip of four wheels to make them spin. So there is no circuit breaker effect and the drive train takes a hammering. In fact the entire structure takes a hammering. In other AWD cars I've seen doors pop open, rear windows crack and rear seats dislodged due to the stresses that go through the structure during a launch. These extreme consequences would only be expected in a car with ultra sticky competition tyres and big hp, but it does illustrate what the car experiences.
Gone to Volvo
Imagine boasting your car has so much power the rear window cracks! *people scratching their heads*

Sooooooo, leading on from "in a stock 6MPS there usually isn't enough power to overcome the grip of four wheels to make them spin" this might be the logic behind Mazda's decision to undersize the tyres on the MPS6??? Just a teasing thought! A cheap circuit breaker!
Interesting thought Doug. I reckon they were reluctant to roll the guards to fit proper sized tyres.
