Snappin' shafts

[nintendodude]

I have snapped the rear-center drive shaft twice and the front-center drive shaft once in the past week. All driving was on road surfaces or in grass.

I am sick of pulling the thing to the side and replacing parts, even though all the parts so far have cost just $6.

My question is, which is the better center drive shaft kit - Traxxas, or MIP?

I heard that the Traxxas ones snap just as easily "they have a pretty coating, but the metal is poop" said one hobby store guy. Never heard anything good or bad about the MIP T-Maxx set, but they've been great in my T3, my friends B3 and another guy's RC10GT

what say you?

Where are you snapping them? At the yoke?

revo drive cups w/ savage 77mm dogbone. search around to find part #s.

its what i use and it works great. i got 2 gallons use behind my Picco red dot. I replaced it because it was worn, not broken.

see other post from today
HPI86151 HD Dogbones and the TRA5153R Revo extended cups....

the yokes are snapping every time, either the "fingers", or the yoke assembly simply shears from the other part of the out-drive shaft. Very frustrating when you go to do a wheelie and you're suddenly front wheel drive and the tires turn into balloons

Back the slipper off a little. What engine, clutch, gearing and tires are you running? What kind of terrain do you run on? Do you have a locker?
