This picture is a small clue that my slipper clutch may be too tight. Ha!
I had the clutch adjusted to the manual, which is full and back out 3/4 turn. The spring still looked quite compressed at that setting, but I figured the manual knew best! Two blown axles above would suggest otherwise.
One thing a bit weird here is that this happened to two axles at the same moment. U-Joint from the rear axle, pin from the front, both from the right side. When this happened, diffs were all locked in 4wd mode and nothing really brutal was going on compared to previous runs. Terrain was grassy/leafy/stick-laden trails. Truck suddenly flipped and this was the result. Could have been a stick in the wheels, not sure. Whatever the cause, the slipper should have protected from such things I imagine.
So my question to all, how do you adjust your slipper clutch to the right tension on such a beast as the Nero?
