Default Rear Driveshaft Upgrade

I stripped out the pin that holds one half of the rear drive shaft to the center diff and I mangled it trying to get it out. I figured I might as well upgrade since I have to get a new one and the stock one is $63. I see two different ones on Amazon:


https://www.amazon.com/GPM-Losi-Upgr...ords=los232005


and


https://www.amazon.com/LOS232005-Upg...ords=los232005


I was going to get the CrazyRacer one because I never hear good things about GPM but it will take 3 weeks to arrive. Is it wprth the wait or shoud I go with the GPM. Or are there better options?

I don't own this specific SSD part yet myself (although I own several others), but quite a few other people here seem to like it a lot.

SSD RC Rock/Baja Rey Scale Steel Rear Driveshaft about $30 on multiple sites like AMain and RPP Hobby.

Just remember this note on the product page.

"NOTE: The stock Losi M4 screw pins are required."

The ssd specific is probably the best for money out there

Don't buy that Chinese garbage on Amazon. You won't be happy with it.

I think I may have ordered the wrong rear driveshaft. I ordered this one: SSD RC Scale Steel Long Driveshaft for TRX-4 / SCX10 II Kit Rear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H9D2XWV..._e7muCb74CSAM1

The Amazon description says it fits the Baja/Rock Rey. It also has the SSD part number for their Rock/Baja Rey one. But it is clearly labeled TRX-4/ SCX10. it Does anyone know if it will fit? The minimum length is the same and the maximum is 2mm shorter.

I own a Baja Rey for a couple of days now. Seems to me that the stock rear drive shaft’s Joints are not really well toleranced? A lot of play. Also noisy on lower speeds.
