So do you have a Granite or a Bigrock or both lol? I'd start by loosening your slipper just a hair more that should help. If that doesn't help you need to look at your hub bearings, gearing or if your running bigger heavier tires than stock you need to gear down.

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

Like @Edough13 said adjusting the slipper is the best way to save the rear drive shafts.
@jondilly1974 made this nice video of how to adjust it.
As an option there are the Arrma composite cvds https://www.ebay.com/itm/264644825380?epid=12028705694&hash=item3d9e0f9124:g:wRcAAOSwIM5eUo5l but I do not think they fit the Big Rock V3.

Thanks for the video..and i hope the comosite shafts do work because i ordered them the day i broke the third set...it gave the part number that it replaces and thats the same number for the shafts in my big rock..ive ordered the same part number that it says it replaces three times..so i hope they work..but thank u again fellas for the needed information...i was also making the mistake of being in the throttle when i land the truck when it jumps and i was told that will snap them to..im learning as i go..its only my second rc car ive ever owned
