bevel gear shaft

finished a crawler build last night with t-rex 60 axles. after just a few front digs, the bevel gear shaft that connects to the drive shaft broke where the set screw hole is. Is this a weak spot? the replacement bevel gear shaft has the same part number as the one included in the complete axle kit.
when connecting the drive shaft to the axle, how far should the set screw be screwed in? It seems that having the hole in the shaft creates a weak point. I wish it just had a flat surface. Advice please. Thanks!

I'm already at work today. I will try to post pics tonight. Thinking of filling the hole in on the new shaft with solder.....when it gets here. I also have an ax10 crawler which does not have this hole and I have never had a problem.

t-rex 60

i have a trail finder rtr with t-rex 60 plastic axles have had few problems with housing. but the pinion gear fold over any help.

Hey, sorry to resurrect this old thread...are the plastic axles I see on the site the ones that keep breaking... Cause I just ran my timberwolf for the first time this past weekend and after my first 30 min crawl... The front axles are chipped and busted up so bad the screws won't even hold it together any longer. Yes, I was taking it slow...but did hit a few rocks. I ordered a new pair but that was before reading this thread. I'm just wondering if the plastic has been improved or am I justs going to run into the same problems again?
