Default Outdrives cutting the dogbones

I had this issue with my B5m and it's happening again on my YZ-2 so I'm assuming it's to do with my "style" of driving. At some points around a carpet circuit the cars leaning aggressively onto the back wheel at full lock and the outdrives are scoring a line into the driveshafts. This eventually becomes a weak point and they will snap. I'm assuming it's happening on the last corner while entering the straight, probably putting the power down too early while still turning.

Is there anyway I can stop this without changing my driving? I assumed the design of the cars would prevent this tbh, is it possible I've something built incorrectly, or is this issue one of the reasons it's popular the raise the gearbox 2mm now?

Thanks if anyone can help
