Mind you, those standard mixed bag Traxxas ones you are using are very weak, even compared to a Large Revo rod end.

Yes i figured that out by experience. Went through a spare bag of 12 in just a few months. My rig is VERY heavy and fast so they take quite a beating. I do rather them break than my clod axles but now i've upgraded my axles to aluminum so i eliminated any weak suspension parts. If anything's gonna break, it's gonna be the screws holding the arms.

This is how i broke my last spare rod end:




I was experimenting with different pinions and faster motor. Unfortunately i gassed it a bit too much up there.

I refused to leave early after that last one broke so i kept playing
