Tell me why the front ones broke first and how the he11 does that have anything to do with the extended REAR arms? The rear ones held on the longest. I dont see how with what little power I am putting out it is snapping metel shafts.

I would easly take off the extended rear arms if I thought thats what broke the cvds but no way was it the arms! I have also moved my arms to the 10mm instead of the 19mm (to help with turning)

Well, its going to be tough for us to diagnose on here, but as stated before, pics would help.
Something other than the shafts is causing your issue. You have broken far too many compared to what others are experiencing - and your not running any more power than most others here.
Recheck all of your suspension. Make certain the arms are all on the right direction (I found out I had been running my RPMS upside down after a year of running it - even though I know I double checked it). see if you might have bad bearing in the axle carrier, or possibly the wrong bearing, that would allow excessive slop in the axle.
Since this one was a front, was its damage different than when you broke the rears? I experieced bent metal shafts when I ran them with RPM Arms, thus I converted to plastics, and havent experienced any problems (other than loosing C-clips).

You just have to take a step back, and remember that often the symptom is not the cause of the problem!
