I'm not sure about the XB cups fiting the MT. How are you snapping your bones? Are you having chassis flex issue?

Wow I have only snapped one axle that was bent from a bad jump landing. Are you jumping alot? Landing jumps on throttle? That drivetrain cant handle having the throttle mashed and landing a jump. Diff pinion and crown gears are next
 
No just hard driving,I miss worded it I'm talking about the axles going to the wheels,when the pin break the axle gets messed up. I have snapped a few in half at the center.

Oh yea the grub screws like to come loose and lose the pins. I double grub screw them with blue loctite then wrap tape around where the pin goes through. Have yet to lose a pin since. Snapped the dog bone end once after that like I said earlier.

You must be squeezing every bit possible outta your motor with tuned pipe and air intake or something lol the stock parts I imagine are designed and rated for stock power output. I still have the stock muffler can on my MT and about 5 tanks thru, only problem really so far for me is the brakes 2 set screws keep backing out from vibration, will blue loctite those screws tomorrow for sure

Put a decent pipe on it and see the difference.
The stock can is badly restricting your motor.
 
Sorry for the late reply,it was the grub screws and yes I am squeezing every ounce of power possible out of a rcmk 28.5.breaks a lot of stuff but she's being holding up great.
