Traxxas CVDs, how good are they? BL worthy?

I bought the cheap 6 peiceset of cvds of ebay and they are holding up fine. I think they were about 60 bucks shipped for all 6. Hang on heres a link:

Those don't look like the Traxxas CVD's to me? The Traxxas ones have red boots, IIRC.

Blue boots and red anodizing. They do look sharp.

I took it as "I bought cheap ones and even they are working.."

I twisted the ones linked below in 1 day of bashing. I went back to the 3.3 shafts. Whats wrong w/ the stock 3.3 shafts? They hold up better than the cheapo cvds Ive tried in the past.

Since I took out the CD, and the way my V2 Revo is wheely resistant/proof, the rear sliders are taking much more abuse than I've had before. The holes loosened up quickly, and the joint is about to tear. I can endlessly replace the plastic ones, or considering just having one good set of CVDs. Don't want to throw $ away on junk tho.

In that case, the best ones i tried were the MIP, but I still broke those. Actually split the bone from the cup. I haven't tried the Tsais (I think thats how its spelled) that Mike carries. I have heard they were pretty good though. If you looking for the magic bullet. I havent found it for the Revo yet. 3.3 are about as good as it gets IMO. The Traxxas ones look pretty decent. I would givwe those a try.

I really wish UE would do Revo CVDs or T-maxx 3.3 CVDs. UE seems to have the toughest around, but dont offer a 3.3 solution that I know of unless its fairly recent.
