Had a low battery glitch (I think) pop a yoke on a driveshaft today, I have the u-joints like yours so where's the best place to get those? May need some spares looks like...

These are RC4WD heavy plastic shafts I have not heard of them breaking but there is always a first they are on there web-sight and then I mod them with the stainless tubing and make them longer.

Thanks much I fireguard for sure you would notice the little changes that make a big difference in the look.. on that 5th wheel mod I forgot to say that the brass rod is bent in a loop with a brass washer braised on to it then it is screwed to the 5th. Keep a eye out I have some more detail you will like..

Keep up the good work, and pics

Thanks much dmess.. on the sleeper I cut 3/8 of a inch out above the rain channel around the sleeper just above the rivets then I glue it all back together.
