the truggy outdrives are perfect
Here's a pic of them on the buggy without the shock with the compression as far as the car will allow. Its about 15mm more up travel than when the shock is mounted. I also have 1 pills in and the 1mm spacers removed in this picture. Its as deep as I can get the shaft to sit into the outdrive.
They only just start to touch the inside of the outdrive at this point. When the shock is mounted there is plenty of clearance. There will also be more clearance when I go back to 0 pills and put the spacer back.
Its a lot hotter here than it is in North America and Europe. The arm plastics are just flexing that bit more allowing the shaft to pop out

Just my opinion, but I'm not sure changing outdrives is necessary. If you run the suspension bushings inside and down, where most of the team runs them, the dogbones are deep enough in the cup so that they don't pop out.

Just finished building my second xb8, the new batch obviously, as the front diff case and back are all in one bag, as well as the front pillow ball different machining. So there is no difference between front and rear diff cases, case closed.
Still have to come across the universal shaft popping out issue, none so far, and running stock settings, by any chance the ones who popped out, are your upper arm bushings inwards, center or out am guessing most likely some have them center.

Why is the team running the front suspension blocks down and in? To minimize bones falling out or for handling purposes?

I have mine in on the FF and in and down on the FR for more kick up on the rough track. I haven't dropped a drive shaft but know people who have. I have heaps of truggy outdrives so ill just play it safe

I measured it a while ago. I'm pretty sure the 1 pills are around 1.4mm of movement. The .5 pills are about .7mm. So your right a 1mm offset hex would be alright.
I meant to say remove the 1mm spacer and move the pills to get 2mm and use a 2mm hex.
Different upper link locations will also affect the driveshaft plunge.
