The rear axle on a 1/8 car is one of the most high wearing parts (regardless of what brand). All the engine power is transferred to it, and when the grip is higher, the wear is faster as there is less forgiveness.
Besides using a good quality grease on the outdrives of the axle, and inspecting/replacing the pulley regularly, there is not much more you can do.
With issue, it could just be the slot that holds the pulley in place could be stripped/damaged which is probably why you can’t see it.

I would agree. I will probably just run my WC the rest of this year and look at upgrading next year. It's probably going to be cheaper to buy a new kit than upgrade. We will see if they offer an upgrade kit and what it costs. I am definitely pleased to see they have developed the car even more!

Looking forward to getting back to 1/8th thanks to a brother that i met way back wont be the most updated version but recent , budget allowing im very much excited and appreciative of the great crew at moorebank sydney , scored a great engine new to start out though its well capable, seen the teaser for the newest car , looks pretty sweet! 
, in the years from transitioning from just street bashing in 2001 was a turning point with my brother getting into 235mm neo attack mx2 great class fun and always was, appreciate and see the beauty of 8th on road and its engineering inc the off road equiv.
