Try calling them. I think you call Hobbico.

Bought a pair of Axial unis last week and have run about 7 packs(4000mah) of hard driving on them and all is fine so far. After breaking my 3 year old unis(still performed new, only broke because got mad and slammed truck on ground, I know, dumb) I tried replacing the one with a single Hot Racing short side, instead of pair. It lasted almost 5 minutes and snap, back to Axial and hopefully all is well again. Btw, using MMP, Pro4(3300), and 3 cell like everyone and their brother.

Sounds like buying these is still a gamble?

I still was unable to get a set of universals to hold up for more than two runs. Put the vp vvd's in (only $20 more than the axial universals) and haven't had any problems abusing them yet
