|  broke pinion shaft
So what do you do when the pinion shaft breaks at the driveshaft. I had it drilled for revo shafts and broke at the drilled hole. I can't seem to find any repacements online, so can any of you help me find or fix this problem? Any links to replacement parts? Any help is welcome! MaxxRunner |

I did this a few years back too. I actually rebuild the broken shaft. I pulled the bearings off of it, and set it into a clamp. I then added a tack weld upon tack weld. Sounds ghetto but it worked great. I actually made the pinion shaft a bit larger in diameter too. After some handy dremel work you couldn't even tell I had done anything to it. I even drilled a new hole to fit the sliders back on. I'll have to figure out where I have those images saved. | |

Took to a welding shop and done by a certified welder. Turned down on a lathe and re drilled for the grub screw. First rock it was on snapped like a toothpick. I have since located replacement shaft and am waiting on delivery. MaxxRunner |
