Duratrax Thunder Quake
Hello I recently purchased a used Duratrax Thunder Quake along with a rolling chassis and some more spare parts. The truck has a Dynamite M26 and keeps twisting off dogbones I have been having a hard time finding replacements being that most parts for this truck are discontinued and I was wondering if anyone out there knows where I could find said dogbones or where I could get dogbones of the same length that would fit these are the rear dogbones not the front CV driveshafts but if anyone knows where I could also find those I would greatly appreciate it i really dont wanna have to retire this great truck just becuase i cant find dogbones Thanks

Are you breaking the pins on the end of the dog bone? Maybe you can rebuild the dog bone. I get metric pins from work and drive out the old pins and put in new metric pins on my duratrax warhead truck.
