No problems with my sliders on my revo 3.3, 90a rustler and a 35a slash...
Wonder how bad the problem really is? 1 in a 1000?
ok the 3.3's initial torque is no where near a 120A BL motor's. Hell a .28 on a 1/8th scales no where near the initial torque of a BL motor. When the majority of the stress is applied from a dead stop things start to warp, and give out.
The other you listed are rwd that are lighter, smaller motors, and have smaller tires to boot so less rotating mass...
Also it depends what tires you are running, and what kind of surface you are driving on as if you have high traction that puts more stress on the shafts.
my sliders haven't broke yet but they are warping.
