I have steel output yokes ($20) and Jato shafts (got them off ebay for $15, I think) with VXL stub axles and I hate this setup. I twist the U-Joint right off of the stub axles every month or two and my Jato shafts are developing a lot of play at the joints. I'm even wearing out the steel outputs, so next breakage I'm going with HPI RS4 MT dogbones as I'm told they will last a lot longer.
