Whats up with that?? I'm running an Os 30Vg and haven't had any problems with drivetrain untill today.. Must be the Cold weather here in Vancouver Canada
Any links to some stronger centre bones would be killer (besides the hpi HD ones) |

if the front and rear cups have deep groves from the driveshaft pins that can easily be what is bugging you
the groves cause severe bending stress on the driveshafts and make them break easily
i noticed the same on my old x that i never had driveshaft problems until the cups were severely worn down.
you should change the cups at the same time you change the driveshaft if they are worn down |

The cups are new as is the kit XSS I adjusted the slipper and its seems to have fixed the issue, The OS has alot of torque with the slipper tight it would filp while coasting at 10mph. Thanks for all your help guys
