There are hardened steel ones that you could try. I would start with them and see how much more stress is put on the half shafts. If you find yourself twisting the half shafts, then I would look into getting MIP X-Duty gear.

Under normal conditions you shouldn't be having issues...What motor/tires are you running?

Stock motor, just some badlands I think. I have the steel yokes that attach to motor, but all other yokes are breaking

So you have the steel output yokes, and they are holding up OK. If you are have problems with the stub axles, give the 6853X (heavy duty) stub axles a whirl.

Which ones? MIP; STRC; G-Maxx; Hot Racing, or Integy?

I haven't used any G-Maxx or Integy driveline componets. Some say Integy stuff is too soft. I love my Integy tools and will not part will them. I have yet to have any drivers fail on me. I would yeild some caution with some parts/pieces. MIP...top shelf material.

All those are good except Integy and HR. Especially STRC. But as far as the problem goes, they should not be breaking. My Slash can survive a hard 8.5 motor run on the stock plastic shafts and outdrives. Maybe one of your bearings is gone and is causing binding and breaking?

Hmmm....I guess someone thought my good-natured ribbing of the OP's question offensive? My post was deleted. What the hey!?

Wait, do you mean STRC is not good? Like most STRC stuff?

I sure hope STRC is good, 'cause that's what's waiting to hold together some critical driveline pieces of my rock racer when the stock plastic wears out.

I just put C-hubs and Knuckles on all fours (got 4WS) back in September. They better be good, that was a fast $80... lol They seem strong to me. Looks great, fit great, and so far have performed great. Got rid of a lot of plastic flexing with those, really liking them so far.
