I have a T-Maxx 3.3 and have broke 2 drive shafts in about 10 trips out. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure why they are breaking but there has to be a reason. I broke the first driving on grass and the second on dirt doing small jumps. Any suggestions. Should I get a center skid plate, maybe something is hitting the drive shaft?

Thanks for any help

Either get steel drive shafts or loosen the slipper a little so it dont have the shock of the take off. I put a picco .21 in my T maxx and it would twist the rear drive shaft like a pretzle.

what they said ^^

I broke a drive shaft just driving mine around to warm up the engine and it broke, so steel cvd's where on my next order to tower

Just upgrade to Traxxas CVD's they are great, take a bashing and keep on going!!

The rear center drive shaft is defiantly a week point on the T-Maxx 3.3. I have noticed that mine is getting closer and closer to breaking each run. It started once I installed the Traxxas Resonator. The yokes are getting hollowed out and the inner shaft is starting to twist. The Traxxas CVDs are defiantly the way to go.

Once you do at least the rear shaft the rest will hold up fine. You dont hear much about broken axles or front drive shaft even with big blocks. The rear one is the weak link.
