First of all, forget about racing it Monday because you won't
have it fixed by then.<G> I'm not sure which other 1:8 buggy parts
fit the V-Spec. But the driveshafts (especially center shafts) are
known weak spots on the V-Spec. I would recommend rigging a front
and rear center brace ASAP to prevent the center shafts from bending.
Otherwise, you will probably bend the rear shaft EVERY day you go
racing (if the track has jumps).
You might try www.quicktechhobby.com for V-Spec parts...they had
them the last time I checked.


Good luck,
Scott

shaft ! I am very new to the nitro scene , and appreciate all your help
