Default ax-10 keeps blowing driveshafts off

So i have only had my ax-10 for a few days and have only drivin it around for about an hour but i have blown the driveshafts off the tranny like 10 time i have tightened the little hex till it is very tight but it will still loosen up. Front and rear are doing it so i need to upgrade to Hd ones? I also have a hobbywing esc with a brushless motor....... thats what it came with so i this to much power for the stock stuff i am planning to buy a diff motor and esc cause this one is more for like a rock racer i think the ax-10 moves right along with this.
any help would be great!

Loctite anything that is metal to metal that doesn't have a lock nut. i.e. yokes, wheels, etc...

Oh by the way, I have had better luck with the stock Shafts than I have the Integy. If you are going to buy aftermarket go MIP. Worth the extra change IMHO!

I used a small drill bit and made a small hole for the screws to sit in.
