Wild Dagger Dive Shafts...aaagghhhh!

[28yoKid 0]

Dear all. Was well chuffed today as I managed to construct my dual battery holder for my 14.4v Wild Dagger.

Finally. I could run her. Unfortunately, 4 mins into running and I realised a front drive shaft had snapped

Now these aren't the standard drive shafts, but the upgraded steel GPM ones off ebay. So what do I do now? Do I buy the same drive shafts again? Or are there some unbreakable ones I can get from somewhere???

Oh, and I meant DRIVE shafts LOL!

Do you know if the after market drive shafts you bought are longer than the stock ones? I to finished my mod to my WD put the wheels and tires i bought rubbed the front hub carrier a little when i turn i tried myself to use a spacer but there wasn't enough axel to get a bolt on.

Same size I think, just a bit thicker. Not reliable thou.

I read somewhere that there are some from Ofna that might work.

There is a good chance GPM shafts are more brittle than stock.

If you can finds them over the pond, RC Revolution shafts are very good. The make a knock off TL01B with a Dagger body and wheels, and these are the shafts out of it:

The other option is Ofna Pirate 10 shafts, look very similar to TD shafts just beefier. I ran them on mine with twin 19turn motors and two battery packs, never broke one of those.
