Hmm Ive ran XO-1 shafts on a few 4x4 Models over the years and never had an issue with them cracking? Do you clean the truck after every run?

I clean them every run, maybe the boots do not like  sand, I only drive the car  on the beach, the driveshaft  are fine but the boots have cracks in it and it looks like the rubber is dried out a bit, so I have to rebuild them or buy other driveshafs.

 

Or maybe I remove the boots and make some clips or something to hold the pins in place, the new traxxas driveshaft do no have boots anymore.

Could be salt corrosion?

that is plausible, I run my cars also over the wet sand, and when I clean them I only brush of the sand, salt dries out rubber,  but I never had a problem with tires and run most of the time on the beach,  but this could be the case with those rubber boots.

Thats the reason then. Beaches kill RC cars

dont tempt me, if i wasnt so tired earlier i would of cut a alloy bar to size from the left overs of the dbx chassis and dremmeled, drilled it to reinforce the back ones, as there are convienent little hole's sticking out each side between the 2 back shocks which seem to be unused and the shell doesnt use em lol

I won a set of Lipo charge bags from them a while ago! Personally I would have preferred an Xmaxx but considering I never win anything I’m pretty happy!
