If it pops out of the diff, the retaining bolt is probably missing. I have a rustler and mine will not come out of the diff unless I remove the retaining bolt that goes through cvd drive and diff output shaft.

those plastic parts on both my slash and rustler wear out and start slipping out especially when its brushless, I spent the extra money and got the steel U joints and have had a problem in 6 mos of bashing both.

i keep breaking them on my stampede, i just found these on towerhobbies, but i'd guess the shaft would break next instead of the outdrive.

That is the problem. Every time you strengthen one point another point will start to fail. It's a vicious circle.:\
