Alternative B44 front shock shafts?

[stuey]

Hi, are there any good alternatives to the stock front shock shafts? Think I may have a slightly bent a front one so want to put a decent replacement in. I havent broken one (yet!) but I believe the stock ones are weak at the thread/shaft join. Any help appreciated

try associated B4 ones they seem to be stronger but they are 2mm shorter so make sure you back off the shock rod end a couple of turns, or try losi xxxcr/xx4 front shock shafts

Just don't use the gold one's - they're made of cheese strings.

I've put some kyosho blue shocks on mine and had some bad crashes and not broke one yet.stronger than the cheese strings I kept snapping

Losi shafts aparantly,do a search the part number is on here somewhere
EDIT- Sorry didnt read Mike's post fully

Any idea if these are re-bagged AE shafts.

no they arent !! they use smaller e-clips ( provided in the packet ) and the thread is cut before they go to coating so maybe this makes them stronger, i dont know ,but they are a good alternative to the kit shafts
