I run the dogbone setup in my Rustler. It works well, and I've only bent one dogbone. But, the axles can be tricky sometimes. The dogbone part of the axles is weak, and I've broken one of those. The cups that attach to the differential have held up well, with the exception that one of mine has a groove in it from the dogbone. It still functions properly, though.
These problems here have been over the course of about a year, so you can see that the dogbone setup can hold the power of a BL/Lipo setup that can push out over 1000watts!
