Waldo thats a known issue, 1 in 9 needed for the 25vm while the hp will stabilise in a 1 in 10.

Thats why I got mine with a 1 in 9 twist

Over Stabilized ?
Probably a faulty tip on the Vmax or she was part way through spinning herself apart? Hard to tell, but either way it could just be a one-off given the one-shot group.
