I have 2 battery packs on my Slash VXL center driveshaft and it's bent. Does anyone make a center driveshaft for the Slash that's less prone to bending?
This truck gets sent through the air like a Notorious so tougher is better.
 
Haven't seen any, but really haven't searched.

There is usually about 3/16" of front-back slop in their center drive shafts, so not sure how you're bending it.

If squeezing it would cause it to bend then there would be a lot of bent Arrma center braces. I'm jumping the truck big like a Notorious. I drove the truck at an asphalt pump track yesterday and that's where I think I bent it. I kept the air small but asphalt landings are hard on a truck no matter what.
 
There are all kinds of "tower to tower" braces out there. The one below is not fully connected to the towers, but you should get the idea.
