Default Recommended driveshafts for Gen7

What metal or other driveshafts are recommended for the Gen7 to replace the weak stock shafts? Both of my sons have Gen7s and both have broke the rear driveshaft this past week. The U joint broke out of the plastic. I repaired them and printed a sleeve to keep it from splitting again and this time they just twisted apart at the splines. Besides the failure the pins in the joints are about shot anyways.


I need shafts that will hold up for a bit and last.

JunFac steel shafts hold up quite well:

Universal Shaft - JunFac

Get the measurements from your current ones when fully collapsed and then at full suspension droop - compare to what they have on offer.

Once you have the part number, you can browse various shops and/or Amazon/eBay.
