Status: offline 		I am rather disapointed.

I have broken nothing in my 2 LST´s, except for the trans output shaft has broken 3 times.
It always brakes at the same place, where the pin goes through.
That is not normal, I drive the LST just like I drove my Savage.
What could be wrong ? I just dont get this.
Has anybody else had this problem ?

Does anybody make a stronger version of this shaft ?

Plz comment.

For the $5 bucks it Cost for a New one, I would have Just bought one and Been Driving my Truck,
Than to Send the broken one in & wait for Horizon to send a New one.
