The same twisting force is applied to the radius rods under braking , only much more severe than a piddly 40 HP does to it on acceleration.

Think of it this way...

If you have good brakes, you can lock the rear wheels up and skid to a stop from top speed.

How far would you spin the wheels on take off?

Much much more force applied under braking.
