Default Ascender Driveshaft Upgrade

Is there a good cheap driveshaft upgrade out there? The factory driveshafts lasted a longtime until the little pins by the pinion finally wore down and broke off. I used the wildboar driveshaft pins with a little grinding down on the length....a dremel did the trick, but there is some slack and I want to get something heavy..... Junfac? MIP?

Just wanting a cheap replacement that is not plastic....

I use Junfac driveshafts with the GCM input adaptors. I did have MIP shafts, but the huge CVD would hang up on stuff all the time.

Junfacs are beefy and more scale looking than the large MIP shafts.

Vanquish Products is now making the diff input adapters too!
