Default Rear steer universals?? Keep breaking

Well I have a wraith with rear steer, Ive got a rx8/pro4 3300 3s. I keep snapping the stock dog bones and trashing universals. Im not beating this thing at all, the slow crawling and the occ throttle snap to pop on rocks.
Are the Vanquish cvds worth it?? OR Is there anything better?

You gotta get cvd's. I don't have 4ws in my wraith yet, however i'm using the HD axles from topcad. A lot of people use them and they seem to be doing well.

Grab the VPVD's and you should be good. I haven't been able to break mine and I have got to the point on course where I was trying to break something by using an axle shaft as a winch with a tow strap wrapped around the tire!

either buy a complete front axle and mount it on the rear or buy the parts that are different between the front and rear axles

I have a set of the VVD's in my son's Wraith. He's almost 5 and drives like a 5 year old. Meaning, he's trying to break it every chance he gets. He actually ripped a wheel nut off one time, but didn't hurt the axle.
