Default Who in the world's selling TLT axle shafts?

I have two TLT crawlers with snapped left front shafts.

I have looked high and low, my LHS can't get them in, say they're back-ordered ... any suggestions on where to find a couple set of shafts?

Try Tammieshobbies in the vendors section. Give them a call, they usually have them in stock.

Man that sux 2 shot axles... i have been driving my crawler for over 1.5 yrs, i dont even want to know HOW many hours of run time (2-3 3600mah batteries a week with 2+ hr run times) n e ways i have NEVER snapped an axle shaft... (watch ill snap one tommorrow) the damn things are gettin so bad that the pins for the out drives are flattened out REALLY bad... they are easily 66% less in diameter and are now twice as wide... im waiting for one of thoes to snap...

Other note over the summer i stocked up on parts for a mamoth trip which i take my crawler... n e ways i ordered tons of spare parts (2 axle housing, 1 set of axle shafts, 1 complete diff, and a bunca other stuff) n e ways my package actually got LOST! and i didnt recieve these parts for the trip, so when the 10 days was up after they had been shipped and had not showed up...(i had ppl watching the house so i called them to see if it came.. didnt) i called tower hobbies while up in mammoth to send me a new package.. so i when i got home i recieved the second package, and about a month later i recieved the first package LOL... so i pretty much have all the parts to make a whole nother complete crawler.
