Yeah, nothing can stand up forever. I just get tired of replacing my stub axles all the time. My Jato shafts have about 2 years on them, which is surprising, but still ovalling pretty bad (I guess $4/year for driveshafts isn't so bad...). My $20 steel output yokes are the biggest letdown, they're made out of some of the worst steel I've ever seen and started showing signs of wear within a few months.

I'd love to see Mike come out with some CVAs for the Rustler/Stampede/Bandit as well as Slash. CVD at the wheel and dogbones at the tranny and made out of some proper steel and we'd finally have something that holds up to the kind of power we put to these things. The next thing I would like to see is a tougher diff (sealed would be nice, too). After that change the internal gears to 32p or at least something tougher than the 48s, they hold up well for a while but I've stripped teeth before. Again, better metal would be a nice improvement as well.
