As for shafts, I have a set of ABS shafts you can get for $35 and letting me grab your old shafts, including the busted side if salvageable with a new joint. The only catch I'm a good ways away, lol.

I'll see what we can work out. Also, i broke it with the steering dead straight. i was trying ti climb a steeep rock with a ledge at the top. I hit it with some speed on about the 5th try and ut bounced the front into the air. When it landed the front tire was gettin it and it snapped when it planted.

Post by: Logan on February 21, 2011, 01:54:22 PM: Hmmm, I've popped my front tires up plenty, but I guess they've never really caught enough traction to do damage.

But yeah, just let me know on the shafts, I just want your old ones as spares incase I do the same.

I have scrapped a couple d30s but I always pull the shafts first. If I don't need them someone else will.
