What the hell are you running?

I've had Tmaxx shafts in my Puller powered 2.2 for nearly a year without failure...

Now my super would twist them off in short order though...

Those can't be TMaxx shafts you're breaking with that rig. Are you sure they aren't Slash shafts?

Wow, 65T in a scaler...

Well, it could be the torque but I'm not convinced considering there are plenty of drivers running 3s on lower wind motors that produce more punch and "impact torque" than your 65T.

What's your driveshaft angle like? If it's really exagerated it could be stressing out the yokes and shafts.
