Someone needs to come up with a better alternative to the Stock Mainshaft and gear for the BCP. Anyone heard of an alternative? It's not the expense that gets me...hell its really cheap compared to other models but its such a pain to replace and I'm going through 3 every two weeks. these aren't even hard crashes and nothing else breaks....just bending that main shaft. I want something with harder steel or titanium.

I just have no luck straightening them once they are bent. Does anyone have some tips on straightening them. Since the gear doesn't come off, its hard to roll on a flat surface so its tough to even find the bend.
They aren't hard to replace if they aren't bent. If they are bent, then it is a pain to remove without cutting it with a Dremel tool.
