Default E-Revo cracking noise from shock rod (vid)

Hi, my E-Revo makes an awful cracking noise , that I have found that comes from the shock rods , in the union to the rockers. It's not only the noise, it makes the suspension less sensible. This not happens when I shower the car, but at the moment it gets a little dust in it (in the first 30 secs) it makes this noise all the way. It doesn't matter if i lube it, it's worse because more dirt comes in.
- Do you have the same issue?
- Aluminium Shock rod ends could avoid this?

Also , I have a cracking noise in the rear half shafts when the car makes traction and twist them, also, when clean it doesn't do that.
- Traxxas CVD's also could be better?

I can reproduce the noise twisting one wheel with others blocked
