Default Driveshafts coming out

anyone else have problems with the driveshafts coming out on the blitz? everytime i hit a big jump or roll over it pops the axles out the diff. i had the mip cvds in it they popped out, so i change to the hip one and still does it. i got a rtr kit with a mamba max 7700kv in it, running 88/16 gears and 5200mah 2cell lipos. im think the diff is going bad since its getting loud. any help would be great. Thanks

Have you made sure that the down travel of the shocks isn't the problem. If your shocks extend too far the bone end of the CV will come out. Maybe put some limiters inside the shock so your shock doesn't fully extend. HTH.

I put additional o-rings in diff cups to center the dog bone better in the cups, seems to work for me, I also had one sid e the liked to pop out all the time

The extra o-rings help. I have noticed that once a rear arm gets fairly old it will become more flexible. Then the bones start popping out. My original RTR that my daughter now races had that problem with the cvd's. Baffled I just replaced both rear arms and the problem went away.

figured it out, the outdrive cups were starting to spread apart letting the axle move enough to pop out on jumps. so i figured i would get the mip ball diff. bad idea. the diff gear is plastic= stripped out after one run. so now i got a diff from and ese coming and well see how that works

That makes sense on the drive cups, I have good luck with my mip ball diff. Are you sure your slipper is set right. Im running a 5700 mamba and have not messed up the gear, granted thats not a 7700 though.
My ESE diff broke in the center, so fair warning do not tighten it too much, I think that is what I did to mine, I was just trying to keep it from slipping and didnt think I had it that tight really
