Well, today was the break in and testing of 2 new 5ive's we bought last night. Near the end of the first tank, one of the trucks had spat out a front axle. During the third tank of my truck I lost both front axles and noticed my rear center shaft was bent.

Time to contact the warranty division, these shafts have to be defective. 3 broken shafts in 4 hours.

Anyone else ever encounter this?
 
I've hammered mine,and know plenty others who have too and not had any probs. I would definately contact the retailer first and also horizon.
 
with the stock engine? hummm i never broke any until i had 8 HP gas and 10HP electric. FLM seems to have the best deal on aftermarket ones.
call horizon and get a few free ones and maybe go buy some custom ones cause i feel you drive kinda hard lol
 
Are the FLM shafts good ones?

I also don't think I was driving that hard. I've seen these things take way worse than what I did with it.
 
They look pretty bone dry if you ask me. I strongly recommend you get some Fast Eddy Dogbone and Transmission grease and put that on your CVDs. I was told if you keep them well greased, you should have no problems. It's worked for me so far.
