Default Broken axle shafts

does anyone sell stronger axle shafts that goes inside the TLT axle housing?

i've busted 2 axle shafts in the last month just playing around in my front yard. Mostly the rear ones from climbing while on the throttle.

thanks

Chris

Check the vendor section below. I can't remember which vendor but yes there is a vendor here that sells upgraded shafts.

Are you running a slipper clutch? I kept breaking axle shafts because my slipper was JB welded. I replaced it with a new slipper set-up and have not broken a shaft yet. I have it just tight enough to crawl well, and let go in a bind.

RCP Crawlers Just keep buying the $7.99 shafts until RCP releases the CVD's. Once the CVD's are ready to buy.... buy 'em. You'll never need to buy again.

You could try brazing it back together. I know of 2 people who have done that and they're stronger now than they were in stock form.
