Maybe build up the cup hole damage from poping in and out with epoxy?????

I have original axles on my Typhon 3s (got it summer 2019) and replaced a couple on my Granite since February. They're not that weak and likely likely your issue is from hard single wheel landings or slamming a wheel into an immovable object. Show me a 3s rc truck/buggy for the same money that has a better axle and my bet is you can't. Cheap to fix, actually cheaper than most, and takes about 15 minutes.It just sucks when you pay $800 and change on a Granite and Typhon and have only had maybe 45 minutes runtime on the granite and have had to waranty a reciever after a 10 minute run. Now this issue.
Left actually. Anyway, ordered a set of rear axles. Now i have to set the slipper clutch to factory.Well you have to look at things like composite axles, and the U-joints in them, as what they are... consumables. Just like the axle shafts on full sized cars, or even ATV’s. They are the first part that takes the most abuse directly after the tires.
Granted, in your case, it doesn’t look like it should have failed this soon, but I’m guessing it was the right rear?
That’s the one that seems to get the most torque on my granite.
check your slipper clutch.
I had my granite running on 2S with a completely glued slipper clutch assembly(red loc-tite) for at least a year. I didn’t throw the first u-joint until I started running 3S. That’s when I bought the updated slipper assembly, and some new axles. Haven’t had a problem since.
Same thing happened to me I got my granite 3s v3 three days ago. You should buy new driveshaft or a metal one in order not to pop out again. But I didn't buy. I'm 16 and I live next to my uncle. He is master of fixing things without money needed. See my photo. As you can see we put two screws with space inside them in the two sides and now the silver thing is not in plastic but in aluminum. So it will not pop out again. I also put that in front wheel because it doesn't have much weight and I put the good one back. I have bashed my granite 2-3 times from that day really hard and starting extremely hard and everything is OK!!!
Can you take more pictures of the joint? Maybe take off the wheel so i can see more? Thank you very much.Same thing happened to me I got my granite 3s v3 three days ago.

No he didn't drill a hole at metal thing. Those screws have space inside them so the metal thing went into them and then we glued it. I have better photos, see. Oh and I forgot to mention I bash it hard and I have not a single problemI cant see what yall did. Did he drill a hole in the metal and screw into it?
