Yokomo parts source
Hey guys. I bought my first drift car from the dreaded Hobbyking. It's the Mission D ARR car and I'm kind of glad it's a clone of the Yokomo DRB. Now my main problem is that the rear shaft has the 'crank' snapped off both sides and the CVD spacer and pin are long gone. I've been looking for the official Yokomo shaft, but I have no idea which one it is or what one is the right one as they both use different part numbers.
I bought a ball diff off eBay, but after some scrutiny, I realised that is for the front. Can anyone source some useful links to Australian sites/distributors who sell these parts? It's preferred Australian links, but I'll also take international.
Cheers guys.

Ok I've been scouring the web for months doing the same thing you have, and here's what I've found.
The two best shops for Yokomo parts are:
http://www.banzaihobby.com/ (cheaper prices)
http://www.rc-race-and-drift-japan.com/ (slightly more expensive, faster customer service email replies)
Postage at both places are about $10-15 AUD for regular parcel sizes (e.g. a handful of parts).
This is a great HK site:
http://www.rcmodel.hk (their eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com.au/RCMODEL-Online-Store)
For cheaper clone parts, try this one:
http://www.r2hobbies.com/ (their eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com.au/revolutionshop/)
r2hobbies' eBay listings are more expensive than on their website, but postage is free which usually makes it a better deal overall. Also postage times can vary - I've had anywhere between a week (fastest) to 3+ weeks. But they have a massive range. The downside is I think a lot of their parts are clones but if you want to save a few bucks it can be worth it.
I've found a few shops in and outside Australia that have the odd part here and there, but no one with the breath of choice as the first two I posted. And for $10-15 postage, it's quite reasonable too.

Sorry for late reply. Thanks for the help man, but as soon as I bought the solid axle 2.0 from RC Race and Drift, I saw the email that you replied. Good links for anyone in my predicament too.
