I have the traxxas shaft and they have yet to break. Traxxass Part 4951x. I also have not broke a dogbone since i got the rc4wd stainless steel ones.

With you shafts having an auto adjust hole/slot, that is making it weak.

Check out the rc4wd ones in the above post. I used to break mine all the time till i got the S.S. rc4wd ones. If those would not have worked i was going to try these next. http://rcpcrawlers.com/product.php?p...&cat=23&page=1
