It looks like your back axle is out of phase. Maybe rotate the one end 90 degrees. Should help some. And thanks for the thorough review and walkthrough. Very helpful video. Your work and time are appreciated.
Nice 👍🏾 Shocks would make it better, I think. It's not worth it to me. I been looking at these. Thanks for the sacrifice, saved me hundreds probably. 👍🏾
Your rear differential is pointing down causing the driveshaft to bind up being at such a sharp angle. The universal joint can only deal with a certain amount of angle
And the forward universal on the rear driveshaft has one of the coupling pins working out making the problem worse. Press it back into place and put a small drop of superglue on each end of all the retaining pins.
Umm yea the drive line is gonna be jumpy and rough kinda surprised it didn't vibrate itself apart with no springs and the driveshafts jammed up, imagine taking a 5 ton tandem axle military truck with no bed and a lawn chair for a cab then take the suspension out of it and full send down a rough trail it would probably not hold up even as good as this did these are awesome starter platforms it's meant to be bought and built into your own definitely not an rtr buy a Traxxas if you want to rip cardboard and drive if you want to fabricate something awesome get this add winch lights cab and roll off bed and the springs work great
Yeah it was rough, i was mirroring what alot of people do with running on just shock oil, but that didnt work out in this case. Got some softer springs now, have a video ready of that. Next will be throwing my predators on it to give it a good chance. The driveline is jumpy regardless of springs though. Its got alot of tweaks i need to do.

Thanks for the input. I think you are right. I checked this and it may need some modification to straighten so for now I've been using it as-is.

Glad the video was of help

@@yamahammer89 thanks for the info, i will take a look at that
@@yamahammer89 is that pin supposed to be hammered back in? doesnt seem to want to go in and dont want to damage it.
@@yamahammer89 scratch that. vice grips did the trick
