Bent Driveshaft and slipping clutch - Slash 4x4

[evownsu]

Probably have had the truck for a month or so...broken a number of parts as expected. Running a lipo 2s and 3s batteries that my 11 and 8 year old kids are running (under my supervision of course).

Yesterday i noticed that the driveshaft is bent, and the clutch is slipping and making some noise upon stopping. No big deal, but just wondering if instead of just replacing with traxxis parts should I buy upgraded ones? if so, what brand?

Thanks for the help

As far as drive shafts i would just keep using the stock ones their cheap and are your best bet with the system your running. Are you bashing or are you racing?

right now the kids are just beating the crap out of it...already on my 3rd spur gear...haha...but they want to start racing it.

If your going to start racing then i would recommend some steel drive shafts and a hard case lipo because you can't race with out one but if your bashing keep using stuck one's because the steel will bend or break but their great for racing hence ur not bashing lol.
