Driveshaft - Suggestions please

My stock drive shaft on my Axial SCX-10 broke, I'd like to replace them with metal ones, but don't know where to start ? I'm new at this so links to site where I can purchase them would be great!

I'm using power racing, but most will say MIP, and Junfac. Both them are well known(not so much the ones i bought). You also need to say what your wheelbase is since the honco is longer and there are differences in shaft lengths with some of the manfacturers.... welcome.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was looking at Junfac, and didn't know which MIPs would work, thanks!

im running the Junfac shafts and keep shearing the pins that hold the cv together. i dunno if anyone else has ever had this problem

I cant get my MIP from binding, Im not a big fan of them but you might have better luck than me.

I've had the Junfacs Stainless driveshafts on my AX10 for about a year. I did manage to snap one pin right in half. Since i have the joints double layered in shrinkwrap I didn't even notice right away cause the pieces were contained and it continued to function, so I'm not exactly sure what I did to break it.

The junfacs are slightly smaller diameter than the stock driveshafts so you can a little clearance.

My only complaint is that it seems darn near impossible to keep the setscrews tight enough so that they don't fall off of the trans output and axle pinion. I red loc tite them, reef on em as much as I dare, let it cure over night, and the blasted thing will still come off in a couple of hours crawl time.

The way to fix it is to drill and tap the yokes to take a larger 4mm setscrew, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.
