Default Gen 8 broken rear axle

Hi folks, recently bought my first crawler after being out of the hobby for years. I got a nice redcat gen 8 secondhand with a few upgrades and have been loving it so far. I decided to start building a course in my garden but while testing it out I've snapped my rear axle and bent a shock ! My question is does anyone know where I can get a new housing in the UK or can anyone recommend another set of axles that will fit? I don't really want to wait 2 weeks for shipping so any help would be appreciated,
Thanks Dave

the best option would be to get the v2 axle housings it might take some time though you could get the metal axles as a upgrade too
and while your at it pick up the metal portal housings front and rear and metal chubs you should be bulletproof after that
