So, I think I'm going to try the Yokomo shafts on the front and Tamiya at the rear so as to not upset the balance too much (hopefully the rears should be better protected and so less prone to bending).

I was confusing myself, but the Yokomo shafts are still steel. Only the coating contains titanium. So I guess Tamiya have simply used a poor quality steel compared to Yokomo (and others).

Before I forget, the Yoke shafts are definitely 3mm in diameter.

Hope that helps some people.
Do you have the broke-omo part number????
