conner the first thing i thought is are the shocks the right ones for your buggy, mabey there to long and that makes the drive shaft pop out.
 
Well I fort that mayb the problem, but I got the part number off hpi's website, I know there is 2 types for the front but I got the ones hpi list in optional extras, it pops out when the shock Is fully collapsed? It fixes it if I move the shock for less travel and tighten the spring down more but then got hardly any give in the shocks
 
You can put a piece of fuel line on the shaft at the bottom of the shock to keep the shocks from fully collapsing. It's not a bad idea to do it anyways. Just make sure to make them the same.
