I personally have not had any driveshaft problems, even running a HV 4.5 on 4s, I run Losi Zombie 320s, they seem to soften things up a little, without adding to much height. My slipper is a little loose, but I didn't feel like I wanted wheelies. The center diff is optional.
Mine's a little different , that might play into my opinions.

I need to do my third rear diff replacement now.

First diff failed due to broken teeth on the pinion. Everything was chewing on those floating fragments.

Second diff failed due to stripped spider gears. I do believe I made the mistake of installing a slayer diff. This diff's spider gears are weaker due to the lack of the beefier carrier inside the diff cup.

This second diff did hold up to a K45 10XL for awhile. It was really insane. Pretty uncontrollable actually.

I then installed a Tekin T8 2000kv motor. Made a few runs and it's toast again.

Are you still running the Medusa in the E Revo?

That's one sharp Slash you have there. I like that.
