Default CVD's

I keep breaking CVD's in my 2.5. I called the guy at the hobby shop and he says that my clutch is probably too tight causing it to shock the drivetrain. In the mean time, what are the best CVD's to get? I've already spent $80 on THS one's that I used for maybe a week and now they're all junk. I want some that I know will last me a little while. I've been hearing that MIP makes good one's. What about these on Ebay?

Is anyone running something similar? What do you guys think? I've heard that the TRAXXAS one's are good, but I understand that they don't make them for the 2.5's.

Thanks for your input in advance.

From what I have read MIP's are bullet proof. Plus they are rebuildable.

MIP are the best but I would focus on finding the problem first. That way you dont waste any more money than needed? A 2.5 motor should not be breacking any CVD's. Or do you have a different motor?

They do look really sturdy. I wouldn't mind spending the money on them as long as I knew that it would be the last set of driveshafts I would ever have to buy.
