meh i never broke the 2.5 maxx axles or drive shafts tho they did get a lil twisted.
The 3.3 plastics they hold up great with the redesign of the splines they don't twist. I hear of ppl breaking them all the time but iv yet to have it happen on any of the 4 traxxas trucks ive owned/worked on.
one time my buddy tried to drive his E-revo through a drainage pipe and hit the left a arm snapping the a arm and bending the hell outa the push rod.
I was shocked that the plastic axle was fine and only the upper a arm was broke and the push rod had a new 60* bend to it
