I use RC-Monster dogbones for my centers and they get pretty hot. A few people have posted that those ears on the out drives twisted off, but not melted. You have friction somewhere to generate heat like that. I would do lincs mod above or get the dogbones.
I'd have to agree that it's a friction issue. You tend to see the same thing happen when guys put lift kits in their trucks - the first thing to go is the u-joints. Thankfully, on full size rigs, we have grease fittings to help that.

I just took my EMaxx out today for the first time after my conversion, MMM v3, NEU 1515 1.5d on 4s, and within 100 feet of initial launch my front ones snapped too! Looks worst than yours, mine is in pieces. It broke off where it connects to T in front gearbox. It almost looks like it tore the clips right off the pins!
