svenb 3778 Posted February 7, 2016 I can't find any 53164 carbon gear shafts anywhere😐 so was wondering if there are any alternatives from other chassis'?? I could get a set of tl01 shafts(53322) and cut them down. Anyone done the same? sven 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobbi1977 1793 Posted February 7, 2016 I have cut down carbon shafts and the hollow steel ones. Rolling the carbon ones under a good Stanley knife works well with a quick sand to finish. Mind the little splinters in your skin though, you don't notice for the first couple of days until it starts to get sore and infected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
