center drive shaft keep snapping

[spike2c]

My tmaxx 3.3 has just broken its second drive shaft in two days. the first one lasted like two weeks then broke, i fixed it last night and went to drive it tonight, i was about 5 min. in and it did it again in the same spot. Can anyone think of a reason it keeps happening? This a major pain in my you know what

Also, which is it? Front center or rear center?

its breaking where the ujoint pins go through the plastic hole {center rear drive shaft}. You know what i just thought about it, i recently put new axle metal drive shafts and didnt do any thing with the center driveshaft. Do u think that could be it

Could be part of it. With plastic all around, there would be more give throughout the drivetrain. Removing plastic outers would require the centers to take all the strain.

I ran plastics all around on mine and I ran a true BB in my revo for a while. The only axle issue I had was when a c-clip came off the u-joint and the pin came halfway out and got jammed up on the chassis.

I broke a couple outer axles when casing jumps, but considering I busted RPM arms at the same time, it would have been quite the miracle for the shafts to hold up as well.

i ordered a Integy HD Universal Center Drive T-Maxx 4908 INTT3030 do you think that will work or does that give me a chance of breaking some thing more vital
