went a bit a driveshaft on my lunch break, i installed it. it broke under regular use, no crash, tumble or bump. nothing

car is the traxxas slash ultimate

part i got was 6852X, the HEAVY DUTY, my ass

(stock driveshaft came grey this one is black ?)

I read that getting steel driveshafts can put more stress on more expensive parts and cause more pain but if I stick with traxxas I’ll keep getting fucked.

this is my 3 part broke in my 1st week of ownership.

what should i do ? this is my first RC in 14 years

thanks guys

so april 26th i got my traxxas slash ultimate. i have already broken a lower control are and now i broke my rear drive shafts( technically my friend did).

what the fuck. are they really this gentle ? i know how i broke the lower control arm but how do rear drive shafts break ? it looks like the pin/screw that locks it into place got ripped out( the hole is deformed )

but besides this, i think im only gonna let people use my rc car when they have one of their own.

i remember this feeling too well, being a kid and your friend breaks your toy

to make it worse… i fixed my lowered control arm 10 mins before he broke the rear drive shaft… fuck me

got it last sunday during my lunch break at work… then yesterday i broke a lower control arm 🤣 not even a week. part 3655R comes in sunday. anyone else experience this ? i broke it riding off a tree, doing a flip and landing on the wheel :(
