Most of my CV breaks were due to the pin sliding out of place and catching on the axle C or knuckle.

I have only broken 2 CV shafts since ECC, in 6 comps. Both of them were in hard falls on the front end with the wheels turned full lock. I know I've put mine through a lot more abuse then what I'm seeing break shafts.

Maybe the kits use a different material than the test units? They seem to be breaking pretty easily.:?

The material simply isn't there ....to get 45 degrees the neck has to be skinnier than it does if less steering was required.

If you need it to be that small of a diameter then you have to go with a stronger material to handle the stress with a correct safety factor.
