I wonder if there was a bad batch of shafts and you were unlucky enough to get some or there is some other issue with your car or your esc settings? I have seen a few speedo's that momentarily put the motor in reverse while appling the brake.

Not sure what's the problem with them but they always break at the same spot. My speedo doesn't have reverse enabled. I run mod (4.5T-5.0T) indoors on carpet. Maybe it are the plastic outdrives that cause this? I thought the plastic outdrive would protect the shafts in case of a crash. But they develop slop so fast, that they cause hard hits on the drive shaft when braking/accelerating. Maybe that's the reason?
I think if xray would go back to 1.6mm pins and capture them instead of using a grub screw, all problems would be gone.
