My mamba E-MAXX shredded the driveshaft yokes again. Wahoo!! Gotta love that mamba torque!! I have enough stuff to make a rear one Can I run it with just rwd untill I get new ones without hurting anything? Also are cvd's a good idea or should I just keep the plastic ones to avoid breaking more pricy parts

When running brushless, I've found it's a good idea to run CVDs. It's not really good to run a 4wd truck with RWD only. It puts a lot of unneeded stress on the transmission and rear diff.

I'd just keep some spare shafts lying around. They're easy enough to replace and keeps the stress out of the tranny and diffs. A looser slipper would help too.
